More people taking sick leave as Australia braces for ‘nasty' flu season and new Covid strain
The number of Aussies taking sick leave has sharply risen as a new Covid subvariant takes hold and the country braces for a 'nasty' winter flu season. can reveal telehealth sick note provider Sicky reported a 108 per cent year-on-year increase in flu-related sick leave requests in March and April, and a 24 per cent rise in Covid-related sick leave requests. Pharmacist Avinash Vazirani, who co-founded Sicky, told us the company had seen an 11 per cent increase in sick certificate requests tied to travel-related flu and Covid cases compared to the same time last year. 'Travel is back in full swing, which is great news for the soul, but it also comes with a few risks,' he said. 'When you board a plane, you're stepping into a confined environment for hours with recirculated air and shared surfaces. That's the perfect storm for transmissible illnesses like Covid-19 and the flu.' Mr Vazirani has urged people who have tested positive to Covid before a flight to reconsider their travel plans. His advice for preventive measures on board? 'Wear a well-fitted mask during the flight, especially when you're not eating or drinking, sanitise your hands often, especially after touching common surfaces or using the loo, and avoid touching your face,' he said. Mr Vazirani stressed that being cautious isn't overkill — 'it's just smart travel'. 'Aussies have a reputation for being proactive about their health, and we're lucky to have access to one of the world's best healthcare systems, but that safety net doesn't travel with your suitcase,' he said. 'Overseas, getting sick can mean language barriers, different medication standards, or even no access to medical help at all depending on where you are. Plus, healthcare costs in some countries can be eye-watering.' While Sicky doesn't know if the increase in Covid-related sick note requests is due to the new NB. 1.8.1 Covid variant, because they don't track the exact strain people have, Mr Vazirani said 'pandemic fatigue is real' and people appear to have eased off on habits like hand sanitising and mask-wearing. The NB. 1.8.1 Covid variant has been designated a Variant Under Monitoring (VUM) by the World Health Organisation as the UN agency says 'continued monitoring is essential'. Since first being recognised in January, it has become the dominant strain in Hong Kong and China, and has been increasing in other countries, including across Australia. It was revealed last week wastewater testing estimates 40 per cent of Covid cases in Victoria, and 50 per cent of cases in Western Australia, are a result of NB. 1.8.1. Health authorities are now speaking out with a push for booster jabs. Health Minister Mark Butler has urged older people, in particular, to get vaccinated and younger people to consider getting a booster too. 'This is another member of the big, sprawling Omicron family,' Mr Butler said on Friday. 'This is pretty consistent with patterns we've seen now for a few years, where a new subvariant of Omicron emerges and starts to spread across the world.' Dr Paul Griffin, director of infectious diseases at Mater Health in Brisbane, said NB. 1.8.1 was 'driving up infections and hospitalisations, particularly in Asia and Western Australia'. 'The best way to protect yourself and your family is to get the newest booster which provides very good coverage, is safe, and will reduce the severity of your symptoms if you contract Covid-19,' he said. As for the flu, in the first three months of the year there were 48,586 lab confirmed cases of influenza, according to the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance Dashboard. That is compared to 30,492 lab confirmed cases during the same period in 2024. Griffith University virologist Associate Professor Lara Herrero has described this flu season as 'nasty,' urging people to also get their annual flu jab. In Victoria, Western Health Chief Operating Officer John Ferraro confirmed changes have been made at his hospitals in response to increase in transmission of influenza, Covid, RSV and measles. He told 3AW that staff were required to wear surgical masks in all patient facing areas, and visitor restrictions had been introduced that rules patients are allowed two visitors each for up to two hours per day. It came after a Victorian woman called the radio show and told them she could not visit her dad in an unnamed hospital. 'On Sunday we were told that there's Covid in the hospital and that we needed to mask up if we wanted to come visit. Today we were told we're not allowed to visit,' the caller said on Tuesday.

Trinny London launches Take Back Time Elixir that instantly transforms dull and dehydrated skin
If your skin is looking a little dull and lacklustre as we delve into the depths of winter, it might be time to call in the experts.

Her latest conception is a fragrance-free formula that is clinically proven to begin repairing and strengthening the skin barrier in as little as 30 minutes.

'I wanted to create something that delivers an instant transformation, using advanced ingredients and micro-infusion technology to restore skin vitality.' And that's exactly what it does. With just two pumps pressed into the skin, it helps to improve the overall vitality of the complexion, leaving skin feeling smooth and looking luminous. Joining the Take Back Time Eye Treatment (which can soften visible lines around the eye area in just 7 days), Take Back Time Elixir is able to penetrate even deeper into the skin, delivering an incredible 48 hours of hydration.

Powered by a blend of next-gen ingredients, Trinny London's formula is clinically proven to restore the f ive key signs of skin vitality; hydration, elasticity, smoothness, softness and luminosity.

'It helps to rejuvenate the skin's microvascular network, boost oxygen and nutrient delivery, and restore radiance from within.' Sounds good, huh? Jam-packed with all kinds of good ingredients, Take Back Time Elixir contains artichoke polyphenols, which is rich in antioxidants and helps to boost oxygen and nutrient flow. Unlike thicker serums, the Elixir has an incredibly lightweight feel, which enables the ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, thanks to the micro-infusion tech. The results? A strengthened skin barrier that is visibly smooth, soft and luminious, free from any dry patches or dull complexions that often appear during the colder months. Trinny recommends applying the Take Back Time Elixir directly to cleansed skin, layering after serums twice a day, morning and night to reap all the benefits. Designed to suit all skin types, even those with sensitive, it's Trinny London's most advanced skincare innovation to date.

Gen X is facing an unprecedented mental health conundrum – here's why
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. While of course every generation is faced with different sources of stress and hardship, the report reveals Aussies classed as Generation X – born between 1965 and 1980 – are facing an unprecedented challenge. According to a new report conducted by Medibank and News Australia's The Growth Distillery, an overwhelming majority of Gen X Aussies are tasked with caring for both their aging parents and aging children. Despite experiencing considerably more financial security, home ownership and career establishment than younger generations, the increasing financial, emotional and physical pressure to act as caretakers for the generations preceding and succeeding them is negatively impacting the mental health of Gen X Aussies. Gen X: The Caretaker Generation Thanks to advancements in technology, research and healthcare innovation, as well as decades of healthy habits, people are now living well into their 80s and 90s, with some even hitting triple digits. But as more elderly Aussies reach a milestone age, we're presented with a unique set of challenges. With Australia's healthcare and aged care systems somewhat overwhelmed by the increasing number of elderly Australians, the onus to provide care and support often falls on members of Gen X. On the flipside, the rising cost of living and unwavering housing crisis are forcing many younger Australians to depend more heavily on their parents (again, Gen X) for financial support. As a result, a large proportion of Gen X Aussies have been forced to take on the role of caretaker for both their children and their parents, a sandwich of responsibility no other generation has yet to experience in the same way. Gen X find it particularly difficult to open up to their children about their mental health. Image: iStock Pressure to support those around them Despite bordering on the age of retirement, many Gen X Aussies are working later in life due to the sustained cost of living and dependency of other generations. As a result, Gen X reports their main source of stress is financial responsibilities such as mortgages and retirement planning. The State of Mind: Australia's Mental Health Conversation report also reveals that managing the health issues that come with aging, such as menopause, is another factor significantly impacting Gen X's mental health. With the responsibility of supporting their children and parents – financially, physically and emotionally – often falling solely on them, Gen X reports feeling a reluctance to burden others with their problems, especially when it comes to speaking about their mental health. There is a serious need for improved mental health literacy and communication across all relationships. Image: iStock Overcoming a reluctance to open up While a reluctance to burden others is a universal barrier, Gen X find it particularly difficult to open up to their children about their mental health and any struggles they may be experiencing, despite their children being adults themselves. According to the report, 28 per cent of parents of 16 to 30-year-olds reveal they've never had a conversation about their own mental health with their adult children. Hesitancy aside, the report reveals a strong desire among younger Australians to have more frequent and open discussions about mental health with their Gen X parents, but also that 8 in 10 Australians expect parents to initiate conversations with their children. According to the statistics, there is a serious need for improved mental health literacy and communication across all relationships, especially between those stemming from different generations. With Gen X feeling overly burdened by the financial and emotional needs of those around them, as well as a pressure to support and provide for them, it's imperative that we find methods of enhancing communication to strengthen family support systems across the board. According to the report, despite 4 in 10 Aussies finding it difficult to relate to the challenges and struggles of different generations, 70 per cent of people believe that hearing their parents share their personal struggles would make them more comfortable discussing their own.
