All that Justine is missing is her cape – but she is a humble super hero!

Like Rural Doctors Foundation, Justine is small yet mighty with a lot of heart. She is a down to earth rural hero who is wife to Gary and mum to her three kids – Shalia aged 22, Tianna 16 and Korbyn 14 yrs old.

And for most, being a wife to a DIDO hubby and mum to three kids is enough to keep you busy – but after significant events in her life – Justine was not content to sit back – she felt there was more she could do to help others in need.

Give your Dad a very special gift this Father’s Day!

As we take time out on Father’s Day to celebrate that special man in our life – remember that good health is the best gift.

As you acknowledge how special your dad is to you – take time to check in on his health and encourage your dad to get a regular check with his doctor.

This is even more important for those living in rural and remote communities as early detection of diseases like prostate cancer can save his life!

Screening for cancers – visit your GP regularly

Seeing your GP for a check-up when you are well is just as important as going when you are sick. Your doctor can take the time to do screening for conditions you may not know you have. Sometimes people ask to be “checked for cancer”. Although there isn’t one single test GP’s can test for specific types of cancer based on your lifestyle, family history and other risks.
