Image: Scott Salisbury Homes</figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The moment I arrive it feels familiar, almost like home. I grew up near the seaside suburb of Somerton Park where the newest Hospital Research Foundation Home Lottery winner will call home.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before stepping out of the car, two people walk past the home; one pauses to admire the striking façade. The other passes, then turns their head to sneak a second look. The chic, floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains are visible from the large, black-framed front window. Drawn for now, few have glimpsed inside the $4.2 million Grand Prize.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the towering, flush-panel timber front door opens, I’m immediately drawn in by the brightness and warmth, largely thanks to the open-plan living room’s soaring stone gas fireplace that I feel before I see.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before making my way down the long corridor, a grand double sliding door to my left opens to a boutique hotel-inspired master bedroom. The room has an eye-catching textured feature wall, a spacious walk-in robe and ensuite with LED mirrors. While the space is luxurious, it’s still very liveable and softened by a neutral palette and clean finishes, all designed and built by Scott Salisbury Homes.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-masterbedroom-1-1024x563.jpg" alt="A cosy bedroom featuring a neatly made bed, a wooden dresser, and patterned wallpaper." class="wp-image-25452" srcset="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-masterbedroom-1-300x165.jpg 300w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-masterbedroom-1-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-masterbedroom-1-768x422.jpg 768w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-masterbedroom-1-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-masterbedroom-1-100x55.jpg 100w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-masterbedroom-1.jpg 1720w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A boutique hotel-inspired master bedroom. Image: Scott Salisbury Homes</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s hard to believe this dream house will soon become a family’s forever home. Rosana from Rostrevor knows exactly how this feels; she’s the previous Grand Prize winner of The Hospital Research Foundation Home Lottery in West Beach.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I couldn’t believe it,” Rosana says. “The house is so beautiful; it’s perfect. This doesn’t feel real.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you purchase a Home Lottery ticket just like Rosana, you’re helping to fund medical research, healthcare services and hospital programs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“You realise that even if you don’t win, you know the money goes to help research,” she says.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-interior-1024x563.jpg" alt="A modern living room featuring a stylish dining table surrounded by chairs, contemporary decor and lighting." class="wp-image-25450" srcset="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-interior-300x165.jpg 300w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-interior-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-interior-768x422.jpg 768w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-interior-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-interior-100x55.jpg 100w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-interior.jpg 1720w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Somerton Park property blends luxe with lowkey. Image: Scott Salisbury Homes</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Majestic and minimalistic but still homely, the Somerton Park property blends luxe with lowkey from room to room, across the four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two spacious living areas and kitchen &#8211; the heart of the home which features custom cabinetry complete with butler&#8217;s pantry.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Large, black-framed sliding doors open onto a courtyard garden. Home feels like a holiday here as the property’s resort-style aesthetic spans inside and out to the dark-tiled plunge pool. Frameless glass fencing maintains unobstructed views across the lawn and pool, perfect for watching the little ones splash about as you entertain from the alfresco area.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-pool-1024x563.jpg" alt="The backyard in the home lottery home, which includes a pool." class="wp-image-25456" srcset="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-pool-300x165.jpg 300w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-pool-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-pool-768x422.jpg 768w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-pool-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-pool-100x55.jpg 100w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/home-lottery-pool.jpg 1720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Home feels like a holiday here with the property&#8217;s resort-style aesthetic.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The lucky owners of this Somerton Park gem will soon, just like Rosana, turn the key and walk through the doors of their fully furnished, mortgage-free home, along with $100,000 to sweeten the deal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The previous lottery sold out four weeks early, so get your ticket for The Hospital Research Foundation Home Lottery now. Check online for inspection times.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Georgie-134-1024x563.jpg" alt="Person in a pink netball uniform holding a ball" class="wp-image-25210"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: Dan Cowley/Adelaide Thunderbirds.</figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">After being crowned Suncorp Super Netball champions, their third premiership in four years, the Adelaide Thunderbirds are on top of the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At just 24 years old, co-captain and Kangaroo Island local, Georgie Horjus is preparing to represent Australia in July’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fresh from the Thunderbirds’ win, we caught up with Georgie to find out why she loves the game and what inspired her to play in the first place.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">When did you first fall in love with sport?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I started playing when I was five but I would’ve started earlier if I could. I was always hanging around the netball courts, watching training and wanting to join in. I used to sleep in my netball dress so excited for the next day!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who were your sporting role models growing up?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My mum. I always loved watching her play. She played A grade and was a goalie also. I idolised Erin Bell, Nat Medhurst and Steph Fretwell, all shorter GAs. To get the chance to meet them now and work with Erin is really special as well as Steph sending a video when I was presented my Diamonds dress.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Georgie-and-family-untitled-7546-1024x562.jpg" alt="Family of four, mum, dad, son and daughter, standing in a row" class="wp-image-25213"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Georgie pictured with her partner Thomas, dad Rob and mum Ange. Image: Sarah Reed/Adelaide Thunderbirds.</figcaption></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What would you say to someone who wants to take up netball?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s so fun, it’s a great team sport. It suits so many people as different positions suit people and their skills. With so many levels of teams you can play it to make friends or competitively. Some of my lifelong, closest friends are from netball.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What did it mean to lift the trophy at the end of the day?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s so special, something you dream about. It’s amazing getting to share something you all want with your teammates, you’ve all worked so hard to win. It’s the best feeling!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s special about this group of players?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We get along so well, we all live by our team values, and all want the same thing. We are great mates off the court and share some great memories together. We can all give honest feedback and know it’s coming from a good place, at the end of the day we all want the same thing to lift that trophy at the end of the season.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">You’ve been selected for the Diamonds squad again, what does it mean to represent Australia?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A dream come true, still pretty surreal. Something I’ve wanted to do since I was a little girl and still pinch myself when I get in the Diamonds dress. Singing the anthem for the first time I still remember, it’s something that still gives me shivers.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s the best thing you’ve been able to do because of netball?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Make lifelong friends, grow so much in my leadership. I’m a quiet person but it’s helped me get out of my comfort zone and speak up.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Do you have any rituals before a game?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No, just a nice chill day, morning walk and coffee. If I’m home, I spend the day with my family and little nieces and if we’re playing away, I get out and hang with the girls for the day.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Favourite thing to do in your hometown?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Spend the day at the beach with family and friends. Or spending the day at the sports club watching netball and football.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Favourite holiday spot in SA?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kangaroo Island, obviously – it’s where I came from, in particular Stokes Bay or Snelling beach.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Whether it&#8217;s by choice or circumstance, giving up your driver&#8217;s licence can be daunting. It might signify a loss of freedom and identity, or an increased reliance on family and friends. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But it needn&#8217;t mean being stranded at home. There are many ways to get from point A to point B if you don&#8217;t drive.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The social network</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Old Noarlunga resident, Jeanette Moody, the <a href="https://www.onkaparingacity.com/Community-facilities-support/Community-transport" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">City of Onkaparinga&#8217;s community bus</a> is an essential part of her life. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never had a driver&#8217;s licence, and since my husband passed away, I&#8217;ve used the bus to go shopping and to other appointments,&#8221; Jeanette says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The bus also takes Jeanette to the City of Onkaparinga&#8217;s <a href="https://www.onkaparingacity.com/Community-facilities-support/Ageing-well/Kookaburra-Club" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kookaburra Club</a>, which offers social interaction, outings, entertainment, crafts, computer classes and more for local residents. &#8220;It&#8217;s wonderful to get out of the house for a few hours and be around other people. The Adelaide Metro bus near me is infrequent, so I rely heavily on the community bus.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The City of Onkaparinga is one of several South Australian councils offering alternative transport services, such as community buses, for residents without a driver&#8217;s licence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Director Community at City of Onkaparinga, Jani Baker, says the council offers several options for residents who don&#8217;t drive and can&#8217;t access other forms of transport. &#8220;Our volunteer-run community bus provides door-to-door transport to local shopping centres and community centres. We ask for a gold coin donation for each trip.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Volunteer and former police officer, Eric Schwenke, has been driving the Onkaparinga bus for about 18 months. &#8220;It&#8217;s my way of giving back to the community. I love the social aspect of this role and interacting with our regular passengers.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jani says if you&#8217;re under 65 – and therefore don&#8217;t qualify for <a href="https://www.myagedcare.gov.au/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">My Aged Care</a> – there are other options to get around. State Government-funded <a href="https://dhs.sa.gov.au/how-we-help/community-programs/community-connections/community-transport-south-australia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Community Transport South Australia</a> provides support to South Australians experiencing transport disadvantage.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Door-to-door and so much more</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companion driving services, such as <a href="https://www.drivingmissdaisy.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Driving Miss Daisy</a>, have become more common in recent years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After its success in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, Driving Miss Daisy now has 70 franchises across Australia, including eight in SA, and has helped more than one million clients.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Peter and Jo Goodwin, who&#8217;ve owned the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/drivingmissdaisyBurnsideSA/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Burnside</a> franchise for five years, have 14 staff and eight yellow-and-white daisy-emblazoned blue cars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;We offer a tailored, personalised service every step of the way,&#8221; Jo says. &#8220;We can bring in your wheelie bins, help carry your bags and then have a nice chat and get to know you during the trip. On top of that, we can wait while you finish your shopping or medical appointment or come back and pick you up later. We&#8217;ll even have a coffee with you when you&#8217;re done if you&#8217;d like.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Booking transport through Driving Miss Daisy means a qualified, vetted driver will pick you up at your house, drive you to your destination and then drop you back home.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Peter says he loves his job and providing a valuable service to their clients. &#8220;We like to say we&#8217;re family when family can&#8217;t be there.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For more information about Driving Miss Daisy, call 1800 324 791.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sharing the ride</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cabs are widely available in Adelaide and SA&#8217;s bigger cities, including Whyalla, Port Lincoln and Murray Bridge. You may also find them in other regional areas, such as the Yorke Peninsula, Barossa Valley and the Fleurieu Peninsula.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although the occasional cab ride is usually cheaper than maintaining your own vehicle, the cost of fares can add up quickly. South Australia&#8217;s taxi concession scheme is targeted at people with permanent and severe disabilities. However, if you&#8217;re 65 years or over, you may qualify for certain transport subsidies through the <a href="https://www.myagedcare.gov.au/aged-care-programs/commonwealth-home-support-program" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rideshare services, such as Uber and PickMe Now, are another popular transport option. These services use contractors driving their personal vehicles. Rideshare services are cashless and offer up-front pricing for your trip that may vary based on demand. You can track the location of your assigned rideshare driver on your smartphone, but unlike taxis, you can&#8217;t hail a vehicle from the side of the road.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rail or road</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you live in or near Adelaide, chances are there&#8217;s an <a href="https://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Adelaide Metro</a> bus, tram or train route nearby that&#8217;ll take you to or close to your destination. The good news for <a href="https://seniorscard.sa.gov.au/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">South Australian Seniors Card</a> members is that Adelaide Metro services are free at all times. If you&#8217;re not yet eligible for a Seniors Card, you can access free travel on the tram – from South Terrace to Hindmarsh – and City Connector buses across the CBD and North Adelaide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Buses, trams and trains have various accessibility features if you have limited mobility, including ramps and priority seating. Technology has also made catching public transport easier. You can use your smartphone to &#8216;tap and pay&#8217; as you board and also track arrivals and departures in real time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Services can be limited in regional areas. However, Adelaide Metro has a range of contracted private regional transport providers that run bus services outside the metropolitan network.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/06/Adelaide-Metro-bus-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg" alt="An Adelaide Metro bus drives down an Adelaide city street" class="wp-image-25080" style="aspect-ratio:16/9;object-fit:cover" srcset="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/06/Adelaide-Metro-bus-1720x945-1-300x165.jpg 300w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/06/Adelaide-Metro-bus-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/06/Adelaide-Metro-bus-1720x945-1-768x422.jpg 768w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/06/Adelaide-Metro-bus-1720x945-1-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/06/Adelaide-Metro-bus-1720x945-1-100x55.jpg 100w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/06/Adelaide-Metro-bus-1720x945-1.jpg 1720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Adelaide has an extensive bus, tram and train network, and SA Seniors Card holders travel for free.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where to next?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Everybody&#8217;s circumstances are different, and it&#8217;s not always easy and cost-effective to find suitable transportation. While this isn&#8217;t an exhaustive list of transport services, it&#8217;s important to know that various options are available if you no longer – or never did – have a driver&#8217;s licence. Conducting an online search for services in your area may help you access suitable transport that can get you where you need to go.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Cooktop-shopping-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg" alt="A young couple shops for a cooktop with the help of a salesperson" class="wp-image-25152" style="aspect-ratio:16/9;object-fit:cover" srcset="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Cooktop-shopping-1720x945-1-300x165.jpg 300w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Cooktop-shopping-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Cooktop-shopping-1720x945-1-768x422.jpg 768w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Cooktop-shopping-1720x945-1-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Cooktop-shopping-1720x945-1-100x55.jpg 100w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Cooktop-shopping-1720x945-1.jpg 1720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: Getty</figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Whether it’s tossing a stir fry in a wok, boiling linguine or heating tomato soup, the cooktop is where it happens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However you cook, you want a stovetop that suits your needs and budget. Let’s compare three popular choices: gas, electric and induction.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gas</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cooking with gas has long been popular and you’ll still find gas cooktops in about half of Aussie kitchens. They may come in enamel, glass and stainless-steel finishes, and include cast iron trivets and a range of burner sizes, including wok burners.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A clicking electronic ignition system lights the gas to create the familiar blue flame when you turn the knob. Most run on mains gas but bottled LPG is a more expensive option. For safety, many models have a feature that cuts the gas if the flame goes out. However, <a href="https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2023/02/a-heated-debate--how-safe-are-gas-stoves--" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according to Professor Donna Green from UNSW</a>, gas cooking creates internal emissions, which can trigger respiratory issues.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pros:</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">✅ Affordable<br>✅ Instant heat and cooking control<br>✅ Suitable for charring and high-heat cooking<br>✅ Usable in power blackouts, if burners can be lit with a match<br>✅ Compatible with all cookware</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cons:</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">❌ Indoor emissions can trigger respiratory illnesses<br>❌ Running costs are increasing<br>❌ Less energy efficient due to ambient heat loss<br>❌ Fire and burn risk<br>❌ Can be difficult to clean<br>❌ Higher emissions than electric alternatives</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Induction-cooktop-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg" alt="Picture of a glowing red induction cooktop" class="wp-image-25150" style="aspect-ratio:16/9;object-fit:cover" srcset="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Induction-cooktop-1720x945-1-300x165.jpg 300w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Induction-cooktop-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Induction-cooktop-1720x945-1-768x422.jpg 768w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Induction-cooktop-1720x945-1-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Induction-cooktop-1720x945-1-100x55.jpg 100w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Induction-cooktop-1720x945-1.jpg 1720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Induction is the fastest and most energy-efficient cooking method, but it needs compatible cookware. Image: Getty</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Electric</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Basic electric cooktops with metal coils or solid plates are increasingly rare. They’re slow, inefficient and hard to clean, so we’ll skip those.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The more common type today has a flat, smooth ceramic glass surface with heating elements beneath it that glow red when hot. The hot surface then transfers heat to the pan through direct contact. Ceramic cooktops usually have digital controls, look sleek and modern and are relatively easy to clean. When the element is turned off the surface stays hot, and although many models have residual heat indicators, burn risk remains.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pros:</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">✅ More energy efficient than gas<br>✅ Affordable, with a wide range of brands and sizes available<br>✅ No indoor emissions or risk of gas leaks<br>✅ Easy to clean<br>✅ Compatible with all cookware types</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cons:</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">❌ Burn risk<br>❌ Slower and less efficient than induction, with higher running costs<br>❌ Fragile surface susceptible to cracking and scratching<br>❌ Not ideal for wok cooking</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Induction</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An induction cooktop heats the pan directly, rather than the surface beneath it, speeding up the process significantly. With no flame or glowing element, the cooktop stays relatively cool to the touch. It works by creating a magnetic field that generates heat within the pan itself, which is why cookware needs to be magnetic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Induction is up to three times more energy efficient than gas and 25-30 per cent more than ceramic cooktops. Purchase costs are typically higher but have been trending downwards and you’ll still find affordable options. An electrician may have to install a special circuit for induction, and you’ll need compatible cookware. If a fridge magnet sticks to your pots and pans, they’re okay for induction cooking.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pros:</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">✅ Most energy-efficient cooking method<br>✅ Fastest to heat and precise control<br>✅ Lowest burn risk<br>✅ Easy to clean<br>✅ No indoor emissions or gas leak risk</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cons:</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">❌ Higher purchase price<br>❌ May need an electrical upgrade<br>❌ Only works with magnetic pans: aluminium, copper and some stainless steel won’t work<br>❌ Not ideal for wok cooking<br>❌ Fragile surface susceptible to cracking and scratching</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keep energy trends in mind</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gas consumption is trending downwards across Australia. Victoria, the ACT, and some areas of Sydney are banning new gas connections, although not SA at the time of writing. If these trends continue, fewer customers will share fixed network costs, meaning gas bills will rise.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, the growth of rooftop solar means many households are becoming fully electric. The higher energy efficiency and lower running costs of electric and induction cooktops become even more appealing when paired with home solar energy.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Gas-cooker-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg" alt="A woman cooking a meal on a gas cooktop" class="wp-image-25148" style="aspect-ratio:16/9;object-fit:cover" srcset="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Gas-cooker-1720x945-1-300x165.jpg 300w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Gas-cooker-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Gas-cooker-1720x945-1-768x422.jpg 768w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Gas-cooker-1720x945-1-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Gas-cooker-1720x945-1-100x55.jpg 100w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/07/Gas-cooker-1720x945-1.jpg 1720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Gas cooktops remain popular, but rising costs and electrification are changing the equation. Image: Getty</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s the best cooktop for me?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before spending big dollars upgrading your cooktop, research to see which type suits your long-term needs. Is cooking your passion? Gas is used by many professional chefs, but if you cook occasionally or see it as a tiresome chore, is it for you? Do you have young kids who may be at risk of burns or respiratory issues? And if you’re thinking of induction, consider the potential cost of cookware upgrades.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Think about everyday issues like cleaning and running costs. And what about your budget? Do you want something basic or are you getting a sleek and modern cooktop for a kitchen renovation? You may also need to factor in electrical upgrades or gas connection costs. Lastly, never install a cooktop yourself. Always arrange a professional to do the job for you.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">We bathe and swim in it, we freeze it to cool our drinks, and our bodies are mostly made from it. What are we talking about? Water, of course.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We take water for granted when we turn on the tap, yet we wouldn’t last long without it. And because water is so important to our health and lifestyles, shouldn’t it be of the best possible quality?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Filtered water from every outlet</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Complete Home Filtration is an Australian-founded company, and its Adelaide-based team has firsthand knowledge of SA’s unique water challenges. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Complete Home Filtration founder and Managing Director Suzanne Dodds says customised, whole-home filtration systems are designed to tackle SA’s hard water and remove impurities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This gives you clean, fresh and great-tasting water from every tap in your house,” Suzanne says. “It’s also perfect if you have health problems, such as asthma or sensitive skin.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you install a Complete Home Filtration system, all the water entering your home goes through four stages of filtration. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The pre-filter removes larger particles like sand, silt and rust,” Suzanne says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Subsequent filters can be customised to your needs – focused on removing unwanted chemicals like pesticides, chlorine, heavy metals, and excessive minerals like magnesium and calcium.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Bathing in filtered water helps protect your skin and hair from harsh chemicals, leaving skin softer, less irritated, while helping your hair feel smoother, stronger, and more vibrant over time.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/05/Bath-towel-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg" alt="A woman with a bath towel on her head and a child smiling in a bathroom" class="wp-image-24677" style="aspect-ratio:16/9;object-fit:cover" srcset="https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/05/Bath-towel-1720x945-1-300x165.jpg 300w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/05/Bath-towel-1720x945-1-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/05/Bath-towel-1720x945-1-768x422.jpg 768w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/05/Bath-towel-1720x945-1-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/05/Bath-towel-1720x945-1-100x55.jpg 100w, https://dznkntecd9auu.cloudfront.net/2026/05/Bath-towel-1720x945-1.jpg 1720w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bathing in filtered water is better for your skin and hair.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What sort of system do I need?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s no one-size-fits-all filtration solution. Complete Home Filtration will give you a free consultation to see which system and what customisable options best suit your home’s water and your family’s needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Complete Home Filtration will test your local water quality, assess your water usage, and note any other specific requirements, including the best place to put your unit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“With easy installation, minimal maintenance, and a system tailored to your home’s needs, a Complete Home Filtration solution makes it simple to elevate your water quality and support your family’s health and wellbeing,” Suzanne says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Complete Home Filtration will even stay in touch with you after installation to ensure you have clean water for your home, for life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Even if you already have filtered drinking water, a Complete Home Filtration system offers a range of additional benefits that make it a worthwhile investment for SA households,” Suzanne says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“From protecting your water-based appliances and tapware to improving your skin, hair, and laundry, you’ll take your water to the next level.”</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">RAA is there to keep members moving and is now making moves themselves. From 22 June, RAA will no longer call Mile End home.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead, you’ll find the team across two newly leased locations: RAA City on Grenfell Street and RAA West on Port Road.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">Where are the new locations?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new city office has been designed with members in mind and puts RAA in the heart of the CBD at 150 Grenfell Street, Adelaide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RAA West is a purpose-built technical centre at 599 Port Road, West Croydon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both sites will feature modern cafés – RAA City’s 1903 and RAA West&#8217;s Refuel – and memorabilia displays showcasing RAA’s rich history.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">What’s at RAA City?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At RAA City you&#8217;ll find RAA’s flagship retail Shop including the RAA Travel team, who can help with holiday bookings. There’s also a member zone where you can relax with a coffee or enjoy a bite to eat from the 1903 café.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">What’s at RAA West?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At RAA West you can access Vehicle Inspections, the RAA workshop, Drive School and the Child Safety Centre, where child restraints can be fitted.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re looking to book a holiday, pop in for a chat to the RAA Travel team, or browse the new retail Shop. You can also grab a snack at RAA West’s café, Refuel.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">What’s happening with the RAA shops at Mile End and Hindmarsh Square?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both Shops are relocating to the new sites: Mile End to RAA West and Hindmarsh Square to RAA City. The same great teams and the same great products and services will be there to greet members.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">When will the new buildings be open?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RAA City will be open to members from 15 June.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RAA West will open from 22 June, as the Mile End team moves to make way for the North-South Corridor works.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RAA Insurance (part of Allianz Australia) will now be based on levels five and six of RAA Place at 91 King William St, Adelaide.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">From discounts on your fuel and groceries to exclusive dining and cellar door experiences and so much more, RAA loves giving back to members. Here are three people who are among more than 840,000 South Australians reaping the rewards simply by being an RAA member.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>RAA member for 21 years<br>$676 saved in the past year</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With home renovations on the horizon, RAA Rewards will come in handy more than ever for Jodie.</p>
</div></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What are some of the rewards and discounts you&#8217;ve redeemed?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ve redeemed rewards from Woolworths, Big W, Dan Murphy&#8217;s and so many more. I&#8217;m excited to see more RAA Rewards have been added recently so I&#8217;ll be using Bunnings, Star Discount Chemist, Amazon, the HIM/HER/HOME gift cards and BCF. My favourite is Woolworths as I combine it with my monthly rewards discounts, so it helps save even more on groceries, which is one of our biggest bills as a family of six.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>How often do you use RAA Rewards?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Three to four times a month, although with the Bunnings rewards it&#8217;s more regularly. We have a very old house, so it needs fixing often!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What do you love most about RAA Rewards?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Who doesn&#8217;t love to save money? Every dollar I save is a dollar I don&#8217;t have to earn!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>When did you start using RAA Rewards?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I started using RAA Rewards about two years ago when I discovered the discounts in the RAA app.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What are some favourite rewards and discounts you&#8217;ve redeemed?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have redeemed quite a few rewards! My partner and I love visiting wineries and restaurants that host events like Cellar Door Fest and A Taste of the Hills Festival. It&#8217;s hard to choose a favourite but we loved the experience at Pike &amp; Joyce Wines in the Adelaide Hills and Artisans of Barossa.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>How often do you use RAA Rewards?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;ll often scroll through the rewards in certain locations like the Barossa or Langhorne Creek when we plan on going out for the day to see what&#8217;s on offer in that region.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Which rewards do you take advantage of most?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mostly dining or experiences like guided wine tastings. When we would normally go out for a simple lunch, we now sometimes treat ourselves with a three-course set menu or paired wine tasting. It&#8217;s a great experience with really good offers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What do you love most about RAA Rewards?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The options. There&#8217;s a lot to choose from in so many different areas of South Australia. It&#8217;s also a nice opportunity to try something you wouldn&#8217;t normally think of doing or discover somewhere you haven&#8217;t been before.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>RAA member for 15 years<br>$668 saved in the past year</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Family time is even more fun and affordable for Amy thanks to RAA Rewards.</p>
</div></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>When did you first start using RAA Rewards?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RAA Rewards came in handy when I started saving for a home loan. I was trying to save money anywhere I could.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What are some of the RAA Rewards you&#8217;ve redeemed?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HCF and UPark are automatically connected to RAA Rewards which helps. Woolworths gift cards are my favourite/biggest one as I use it for our weekly shop and save money along the way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Which rewards do you use most?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I use Caltex rewards when I am near one of those fuel stations, Woolworths for shopping and, any time I want to do something fun with the family, I always check to see if RAA Rewards has a discount on something like Adelaide Zoo.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What do you love most about RAA Rewards?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I love that it helps me save money and I like to see how much I&#8217;ve saved.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is RAA Rewards?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RAA&#8217;s exclusive rewards program gives members access to amazing discounts at more than 220 local suppliers. Think the movies, supermarkets, pharmacies, fuel outlets, cafes, restaurants and many more. Best of all, new and exciting discounts pop up all the time!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Since March 2025, RAA members have saved more than $40 million through RAA Rewards and loyalty discounts,&#8221; says RAA Chief Marketing Officer Michael Healy. &#8220;We want to keep putting money back into the pockets of South Australians.&#8221;</p>
