    WA aged care residents to get free RSV vaccine after worst ever flu season

    Free RSV vaccines will be offered to older Western Australians in residential aged care. ( ABC News: Brendan Esposito)

    After a horror flu season last year, free RSV vaccinations are being rolled out for the first time for older Western Australians living in residential aged care.

    Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly contagious illness that can cause a severe infection in older adults and babies.

    Mothers and babies were already entitled to free RSV vaccinations, and on Thursday the state government expanded the program to include those aged 65 and older living in residential aged care.

    It feels like every year we're told this is one of the worst flu seasons on record. But this time around, doctors really mean it.

    WA aged care homes to get 15,000 free vital vaccines

    Around 15,000 free doses of the RSV vaccine are set to be rolled out at WA aged-care homes ahead of winter.

    For the first time vaccines for the respiratory syncytial virus will be free for those 65 and over in residential aged care homes through a $2.6 million State-first program.

    It mirrors a program introduced last year where the vaccine – which currently costs around $300 to buy – was free for infants and people over 28 weeks pregnant, others considered the most vulnerable in society.

    According to the Government, less than one per cent of people over 60 received the vaccine last year.

    But about 25 per cent of people over 65 who contracted RSV in 2025 ended up in hospital.

    Government Finally Acts on Free RSV Vaccines After Sustained Pressure from the Opposition

    Shadow Minister for Aged Care and Member for Warren-Blackwood Bevan Eatts MLA has welcomed the Government’s decision to provide free RSV immunisation for older Western Australians in residential aged care is a welcome step — and one the Opposition has been calling for months.

    Mr Eatts said the announcement shows that persistent, practical advocacy can deliver real outcomes for seniors.

    “This is a win for common sense — and for the many families and healthcare workers who have raised this issue with me,” Mr Eatts said.

    “We have consistently called on the Government to fund free RSV vaccinations for older Western Australians, and today’s announcement shows that when you keep the pressure on and put forward practical solutions, the Government is forced to listen.”

    Residents slam 'selfish' Australia Day act at popular public beach: 'Council should stop it'

    Another public holiday has rolled around for Australians. With it comes the controversial practice of reserving prime vanatage points ahead of council-planned celebrations.

    On New Year's Eve, Yahoo News reported on the outrage that rippled through Manly when revellers used cabanas to claim their spot on the wharf foreshore before the city's firework display.

    Now, ahead of Australia Day festivities in the Sutherland Shire, the debate has been reignited at Cronulla, with dozens of people using picnic blankets in the same way.

    By 8am on Monday, one resident urged the community to "get down here early if you want a good spot", despite the show commencing at 4pm.

    Cronulla beach clear of seaweed in good start to Australia Day in the shire

    It was a good start to Australia Day at Cronulla beach, with the seaweed clearing overnight.

    Big seas have returned, washing the thick weed, which has been present for several days, out to sea.

    Surf conditions at Cronulla were mild, but bigger waves were rolling in at other Bate Bay beaches.

    The Bureau of Meteorology forecast waves along the Sydney coast of one to two metres.

    "Surf conditions in the early morning may be more powerful than they appear," the bureau said.

    Forecast strong winds will be monitored by organisers of the planned fireworks at the end of Cronulla concert.

    WA Bushfire: West River and Fitzgerald residents urged to still be alert as warning downgraded

    A fire in West River and Fitzgerald has been downgraded after residents were earlier urged to leave their homes as the large uncontrolled bushfire moved north-west rapidly.

    Sparked in a paddock about 1.10pm on Wednesday, the blaze resulted in an emergency warning for those in the area bounded by West River Road, Old Ongerup Road and Fitzgerald Road in Fitzgerald and West River in the Shire of Ravensthorpe.

    The warning was downgraded an advice level just before 7pm, however, residents were still warned to stay alert.

    The Department of Fire and Emergency Services say the blaze has been contained but is not yet under control.

    As fire raced up seven high-rise towers in Hong Kong's Tai Po district, resident Ng was in a state of disbelief.

    Her husband called her to say the buildings were on fire, but since the fire alarm had not gone off, she was unsure.

    For curiosity's sake, she decided to go to the ground floor and look for herself.

    She witnessed an inferno as fire quickly spread from one building to another.

    "I came down and didn't bring anything, just wearing this outfit," she told the ABC.

    Hong Kong investigators are piecing together how the city’s worst fire in decades rapidly raged through seven high-rise buildings on Wednesday, leaving at least 94 people dead, dozens injured and scores missing.

    As fires smouldered in several apartment blocks at the Wang Fuk Court housing complex on Friday, firefighters continued searching for residents unaccounted for. Extreme heat was hampering rescue efforts, officials said.

    Rescue operations inside the Hong Kong apartment complex that was engulfed by fire on Wednesday are “almost complete”, fire officials have said, as the death toll reached 94 early on Friday with scores more missing.

    Firefighters were combing though through the high-rises on Friday, attempting to find anyone alive after the massive fire that spread to seven of eight towers, in one of the city’s deadliest ever blazes.

    Throughout the morning more families arrived at the Kwong Fuk Estate community centre, adjacent to Wang Fuk Court, to identify the bodies being pulled from the gutted buildings. Few names of the dead have been released to the public yet.

    Darwin residents assess the damage as TC Fina moves out to sea

    Severe Tropical Cyclone Fina has passed Darwin at category three strength, with the weather system's gale-force winds leaving a path of destruction as it continues west into the ocean. 

    Fina was the Northern Territory's strongest cyclone to pass Darwin since the deadly Cyclone Tracy in 1974.

    The system was also more powerful than Cyclone Marcus, which passed Darwin as a category two in 2018.

    Follow our live blog to keep up-to-date on Severe Tropical Cyclone Fina.

    Now tracking west-south-west, Severe TC Fina is picking up strength over the Timor Sea and is expected to move over the top of Western Australia in the coming days.

    Residents urged to ‘take action’ as cyclone approaches WA

    Kimberley residents have been urged to prepare to take shelter as a category four tropical cyclone inches closer to WA.

    Severe Tropical Cyclone Fina was 125km offshore and heading southwest as of 3pm on Sunday, with a cyclone watch and act now in place for those in Cambridge Gulf and King George River.

    The Department of Fire and Emergency Services warned there is a possible threat to lives and homes as the cyclone approaches the area.

    “You need to take action and get ready to shelter from a cyclone,” the warning read.

    “No matter how many cyclones you have been through, a severe cyclone can be overwhelming. If you plan to shelter at home, make sure you and your family are physically and mentally prepared.”
