to driving engagement and supporting our members to achieve positive retirement outcomes.

| 11:34am | Developing a Customer-Centric Workplace Health Program / Stuart Wright, Get Healthy At Work | In 2018-2019, the Get Healthy at Work team conducted extensive evaluations that focused on capturing customer feedback on the program and its digital offerings.

| 11:58am | Flexible Working Across The NSW Government Sector: Making ‘If Not, Why Not’ Work / Cat Coghlan, Public Service Commission | The Government committed to making all roles flexible in the NSW government sector on the basis of ‘if not, why not’ by 2019. Flexible working is about rethinking the where, when and how work can be done, in a way that maintains or improves service delivery for the people of NSW. It does not mean every role, or every individual, can or should (or has to) work flexibly. The approach of ‘if not, why not’ democratises and mainstreams flexible working so that everyone is able to begin a conversation about what type of flexible working is available to them, regardless of the reason for why they are seeking it. The NSW Public Service Commission has developed a range of guidance for employees and employers about flexible working. |
| 12:10pm | Mindfulness Session / Kate Robinson, HealthShare NSW | Join our meditation facilitator and de-stress through a guided mindfulness meditation session. |

Daniela is a volunteer speaker for Beyond Blue, a national organisation that works to raise awareness about anxiety and depression, reduce the associated stigma and encourage people to get help. Daniela became a Beyond Blue speaker because she believes that by sharing her experience with severe depression and anxiety, she can help to raise awareness and understanding in the community, encourage those struggling to seek help, and finally, to demonstrate resilience. |
| 12:44pm | Technology and Children: The Good, The Bad and The Unknown / Rosina McAlpine, Benestar |
Many parents worry about how much time their children spend on technology and are concerned about gaming addiction and mental health issues from excessive screen time. Limiting technology can be difficult due to screen time fights or meltdowns when parents take the game, phone, tablet, computer or
TV away. Many parents face these challenging situations daily but don't really know what to do. Join parenting expert, Dr Rosina McAlpine, creator of Benestar's Win Win Parenting program and learn how to: * Understand the recommended guidelines for technology use by children. * Learn about the many harms of excessive or incorrect technology use (physical, social and psychological). * Apply practical strategies to minimise the harms and maximise the benefits of technology for your family. |
| 12:56pm | Stretch Class / Georgia Separovich, HealthShare NSW | Learn how to relive work-related tension in this practical stretching session. |
| 1:08pm | Breast Screening Talk / Tammy Yam, BreastScreen NSW | Breast cancer is the second biggest cancer killer of Australian women, yet only half of eligible women aged 50-74 in NSW are being screened regularly. A regular mammogram every 2 years is the best way to find breast cancer early. We know that detecting breast cancer early means women have better treatment options, and ultimately a better outcome. We’ll explore the latest breast cancer stats/risk factors and discuss why a 2-yearly breast screen (mammogram) is important for this cohort age group. A breast screen NSW appointment is free and takes around 20 minutes. Given the facts above - it is vitally important that you are aware and informed of the risks and how to mitigate them. Come and join us for a breast screening talk. |
| 1:20pm | Blood and Beyond / John Feist, Australian Red Cross Blood Service | Australian Red Cross Blood Service is a division of the Australian Red Cross. We’re funded by the federal, state and territory governments of Australia to supply the community with safe, high quality blood and blood products, as well as organ and bone marrow services for transplantation. We're in the business of saving lives. |

| 1:44pm | Bully Proofing Your Child / Rosina McAlpine, Benestar |
Statistics on the number of children experiencing bullying online and in person are concerning. Bullying can harm a child's physical and mental wellbeing both in the short and the long-term. Many parents, teachers and health professionals are worried, but don’t know how to protect children from being
bullied or help them to overcome bullying. Join parenting expert, Dr Rosina McAlpine, creator of Benestar's Win Win Parenting program and learn how to: * Take new and practical approaches to help children overcome bullying. * Empower your children with life-skills so they become “bully-proof”. |
| 1:56pm | Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing Within The Workplace Through Get Healthy At Work / Eleni Danis, Get Healthy At Work |
Mental health and wellbeing is an increasing concern for workers and workplaces, and is therefore one of the six priority health areas addressed in the Get Healthy at Work program. To better support workers, the team at the Office of Preventive Health has developed an integrated online tool that addresses
both mental and physical health by helping workers identify their risks of ill-health, offering tailored health advice and providing evidence-based resources and referrals to support services. The Get Healthy at Work program also works with businesses to create environments that better support their workers’ mental health and wellbeing. |
