Last update: 12 hours ago

School Drug Scare: Four students were taken to hospital after a suspected drug “overdose” at Brisbane Water Secondary College in Umina, with seven ambulances assessing 15 students and three transported in stable condition. Aged Care Safety Under Scrutiny: An inquest into the death of Clare Nowland heard how aged-care staff and first responders handled the 95-year-old’s dementia-related wandering and knife incident before she died a week later. Health System Pressure Points: In Victoria, data shows paramedics attended 59 suspected overdose/poisoning call-outs at Crown Melbourne in 2024–25, averaging about once every two weeks, raising fresh concerns about public health response. Pacific Health Context: PNG is moving to create a huge “no-take” marine protected area as part of the Melanesian Ocean Corridor, aiming to protect fisheries and marine life that communities rely on. Ongoing Risk Alerts: Authorities also advised former patients of a retired Sydney dentist to test for bloodborne viruses after concerns about infection control and record keeping.
