A heatwave is a period of unusual and uncomfortable hot weather that can have an impact on human health, community infrastructure (such as the power supply and public transport) and services.
Heatwaves can affect anybody and cause illnesses such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which may be fatal.
The most important things to remember are:
• keep cool
• drink plenty of water
• stay out of the sun
• look after yourself and others
It is important that we take care of ourselves in the heat, and also work together to care for those more vulnerable, such as the elderly and animals.

The City of Greater Dandenong is a Child Friendly City which values, respects and celebrates children’s voice. We love to hear what local children have to say about their City.
At the Little Day Out community event held in September 2015, we ran the Big Voices project, where we asked children what would make Greater Dandenong better for kids.

Even young children can help get dinner ready. The parents in this video give their daughters jobs as part of preparing an evening meal. The kids learn about cooking healthy food, and the family spends time together at mealtime.

This short video features parents talking about sometimes foods, healthy eating and children.
Parents share strategies for making healthy eating part of everyday family life. They say that it’s best to teach kids moderation rather than to deny them snacks and sometimes foods altogether. But they do suggest keeping junk food out of your home if you don’t want your children to eat it.
Victorian State Nutritionist Veronica Graham shares three healthy and delicious lunchbox examples for the kids and provides some great food preparation tips to save you time throughout the week.
Victorian State Nutritionist Veronica Graham takes us shopping for the right foods to include in your childs lunchbox. A healthy lunchbox should include a combination of fruit, vegetables, dairy, protein and carbohydrates, all of which are important for the health and wellbeing of your child.
