5 Use it or Lose It! 3 Bulk Billed Eye Tests 3 Most Health Funds Accepted 3 External Prescriptions Welcome PARIS MIKI OPTICAL Shop 18, 12 Sir John Overall Drive, Helensvale Plaza Phone 5580 5010 | www.paris-miki.com.au Book your appointment today! If you haven’t visited your optometrist this year and are among the nearly 55% of people with private health insurance, now is the perfect time to schedule an eye check-up. Many private health fund benefits expire at the end of December, so this is your chance to take full advantage of your coverage before it’s too late. You've been paying premiums all year, so why not make the most of the optical benefits your health fund offers? Now is an ideal time to prioritise your eye health. Most health funds don’t allow you to carry over unused benefits from year to year. Once January 1 arrives, any benefits you didn’t use the previous year will expire. Regular eye exams are crucial, as your prescription may change over time. As we age, our eyes become more susceptible to conditions like presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Early detection is key to timely treatment. See More Clearly If you haven't updated your prescription in a while, you might be amazed by how much lens technology has advanced. Lenses today are thinner, lighter, and available with a range of coatings. In addition to improving your vision, modern lenses can be tailored to your specific needs. Many feature antireflective and scratch-resistant coatings, as well as options that reduce harmful UV exposure, block blue light from screens, or transition from clear to dark when exposed to sunlight. How to Use Your Rebate There are plenty of ways to use your health fund rebate. Why not invest in an extra pair of reading glasses for home? No more searching the living room for your misplaced pair! Or consider prescription sports glasses. Your private health insurance may also cover a variety of eye care services and "no gap" frames. Paris Miki Helensvale accepts all health funds, so book your appointment and make the most of your benefits. Paris Miki Optical’s Store Manager Michael has over 32 year’s experience as a qualified Optical technician and has been working in the area for over 24 years. There is an onsite workshop for quicker spectacle making, so you don’t have to be without your own frames for weeks if we are using your own frame for new lenses; repairs can be done onsite and same day service is available on in store stock lenses.

6 The city’s community champions have been recognised for their outstanding work to enhance safety on the Gold Coast at an awards ceremony recently. Fight 4 Youth, Senior Police Liaison Officer Darwin Huang and the Gold Coast Youth Service Foyer Program were among those recognised for their contribution to the city at the biennial Safer Suburbs Awards held at HOTA. Mayor Tom Tate said these awards were a reminder of the strength of the Gold Coast community and the commitment we share to making it a safer city. “This year we had a total of 40 nominees across the three categories, and of such high calibre that it was difficult to choose the winners,” he said. “And when you take a close look at what these programs are achieving, for some of our most vulnerable residents, it’s important we take a moment to thank them and recognise their efforts.” The Safer Suburbs Awards is one of many City initiatives enhancing safety with commitments to expand the Safety Camera Network, increase the number of publicly available defibrillators and enhanced graffiti reduction programs. The Safer Suburbs award winners are: Meritorious Award - Fight 4 Youth - Through a proactive early intervention model Fight 4 Youth engages young people to address the underlying causes of disengagement, crime, and antisocial behaviour. By integrating therapeutic mentoring and physical activities the program equips participants with practical tools for selfregulation, resilience, and positive decision-making. Designed to re-engage high-risk youth, the program focuses on hands-on learning, building trust with mentors, and fostering real-world connections. Committed to removing barriers, Fight 4 Youth offers free programs, flexible delivery options, and culturally safe practices – filing critical service gaps, reducing the risk of crime and empowering young people to become future leaders and mentors. Individual award - Darwin Huang - As a Senior Police Liaison Officer Darwin brings cultural knowledge and multi-lingual skills to assist the Queensland Police Service. In her own time, Darwin supported the establishment of Queensland E Watch to deliver critical information to the Chinese community including crime prevention strategies, government updates and police alerts. The platform fosters positive perceptions of safety, connection and belonging, while ensuring vital information is communicated. Project or initiative - Gold Coast Youth Service Foyer Program - Since 2021, the Gold Coast Youth Service Foyer Program has enhanced the safety of young people aged 16 to 25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The program provides 40 self-contained units and 24/7 on-site support through a ‘hand up, not a handout’ approach. Since opening, over 100 vulnerable young people have been supported, providing not only a home, but a foundation for a brighter future based on empowering them to take ownership of their lives. Group Award - Youth Outreach - Youth Outreach plays a pivotal role in fostering a safe and connected community by supporting young people aged 16 - 25 who are experiencing or at risk or homelessness. In addition to providing housing, the organisation offers wraparound case management, life skills training, and tenancy support. By addressing key areas such as health, education, and social inclusion Youth Outreach helps young people confidently transition into adulthood.

A thriller and epic love story from the bestselling author of Tully, The Bronze Horseman and Light at Lavelle. It’s 1944. The world is at war. Forces of evil hold Europe by the throat. After a mysterious massacre at sea, a ragtag alliance forms in the heart of occupied Belgium. A handful of Allied soldiers band together with a fearless group of female freedom fighters led by Charlotte Fontaine to carry out a mission no one else can. The target: unreachable. The clock: ticking. The consequences: apocalyptic. Charlotte: Resolute, hardened by loss - she’ll stop at nothing to save the one she loves. Fletcher: Sharp as a blade, he never wanted to lead, but now he’s the only one who can finish it. Louise: Radiant. Innocent. She dreams of peace, but the war won’t let her go. Rafael: Rebellious, reckless, romantic-and brought to his knees by love. With time running out, they’re hunted by a brilliant and relentless German officer hellbent on their destruction. In a world on fire, it’s the unbreakable bonds between the unlikely heroes that make all the difference. From the master storyteller of The Bronze Horseman comes a thrilling, darkly funny, and heartbreaking epic of love, brotherhood, and sacrificewhen every heartbeat could be your last.
