Sometimes it's not until you need to use your cover that you realise the value it can provide.

For Jocelyn and her family, having the right cover meant one less thing to worry about when life became more complicated.

From everyday health needs through to unexpected challenges, family cover can help give parents peace of mind knowing they're supported when it matters most.

How well do you know what's normal for your breasts?

Breast awareness is about becoming familiar with the way your breasts normally look and feel, so you're more likely to notice if something changes. Finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of effective treatment, which is why it's important to stay aware of your breast health.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're sharing a simple guide to checking your breasts and the signs to look out for.

If you notice something that's new or unusual for you, it's important to see your GP.

See below for a step-by-step guide and learn more in our breast health guide: https://www.hcf.com.au/health-agenda/women/conditions/guide-to-breast-health

Take a moment to learn the signs of perimenopause and explore the support options available.

For many women, the first signs can be more subtle: changes to sleep, mood shifts, feeling unusually irritable, brain fog, or periods that suddenly become less predictable. These symptoms are often mistaken for stress, ageing or simply having too much on your plate.

Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause and commonly begins in your 40s, although it can start earlier or later. Hormonal changes during this time can affect you physically, mentally and emotionally.

If you've been noticing changes and wondering what's going on, you're not alone.

Looking to lower your cholesterol? The answer might start in your shopping trolley.

Small, consistent food choices can help support healthy cholesterol levels and overall heart health. Foods rich in soluble fibre and healthy fats can be particularly beneficial, helping to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol when they're part of an overall heart-healthy eating pattern.

Below, we're spotlighting a few everyday foods that may help.

Menopause can affect much more than your periods.

For many women, it can also bring sleep disruption, mood changes, weight challenges, brain fog and a range of physical and emotional symptoms. The good news? Support is available.

This World Menopause Day, we're highlighting some of the ways HCF members can access support throughout the menopause transition. Swipe through to see what's available and find the option that's right for you.

Menopause isn't a one-size-fits-all experience, and neither is the support you may need.
