Winter health

In winter, we need to be aware of the risks to individuals and households during the colder months.

As we spend more time indoors, it's important to help protect ourselves and others from respiratory illnesses by getting vaccinated and staying home if unwell. It's also important to be fire safe and prepare our homes in case of an emergency.

NSW Health, NSW Rual Fire Service and Fire and Rescue NSW have provided expert information below.

Respiratory illnesses

Protect yourself and your loved ones this winter.

Winter fire safety

A drop in the temperature should not mean a drop in your fire safety standards.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

NSW Health is reminding people that outdoor heaters and barbeques should never be used indoors.
