It’s important we all remember and respect the beliefs and values of the world’s religions and cultures. Whether they relate to rites of passage, the seasons, living things or revered objects, they play an important role in the lives of many people worldwide. #MulticulturalQLD

[Multicultural Affairs, Queensland Government @MulticulturalQ]

With more than 4,200 religions around the world, today we celebrate and respect the many faiths and religions people choose to follow. Here in Queensland, census data identified more than 24 faiths and religions practiced across the state. #MulticulturalQLD

Heat-related illness can be dangerous, and in some cases, deadly. If you have friends, neighbours or family members who are being affected by a heatwave, remind them to:
🥤 drink water
🏃 avoid outside exercise
☀️ find a cool place, use fans, or air conditioning
👒 be sun safe

[Multicultural Affairs, Queensland Government @MulticulturalQ]

🥵 Heatwaves are a danger to everyone - sometimes sweating isn't enough to cool you down. The heat can make you feel sick, with symptoms like feeling dizzy, having a headache, feeling nauseous, wanting to drink water, or even vomiting. #MulticulturalQLD
