With summer approaching, it's important that you and your family have everything you need to stay healthy.

Right now is a great time of year to put together an emergency kit to prepare for severe weather.

Remember to pack all the medical and health supplies you might need if you have to stay away from home for an extended period. This is especially important for people with pre-existing medical conditions. You might also need to use the supplies in your emergency kit if chemists or supermarkets are closed.

Your kit should include:
💊 A 7-day supply of all medication, including prescription and basic over-the-counter supplies.
🩹 A basic first aid kit.
🧼 Sanitation supplies like hand sanitiser, water purification tablets and bleach.
🚼 Sanitary products, including menstrual supplies, nappies and catheters.
🌡️ Medical supplies and devices you or your family might need like a CPAP machine, thermometer, blood pressure monitor, mobility aids, diabetic testers, strips and insulin.
🔋 Enough batteries or chargers to power medical devices.
📝 Prescriptions, Medicare card, a medical history and healthcare contacts.
😷 Face masks for everyone, especially for people who are vulnerable.

Personalise your kit to meet the needs of you and your family and remember to check and replace expired items.
