21.01.2022 A challenge for those involved in encouraging active transport

21.01.2022 This is a must read. No wonder our aged care sector is on its knees. "In 2003, there were 16,265 full-time equivalent RNs in Australian nursing homes, representing 21.4 per cent of all direct care employees in these facilities. Even with an explosion in the number of older people receiving care, by 2016, there were only 14,564 registered nurses caring for them, representing less than 15 per cent of all staff. Enrolled nurses (ENs) fell by almost 2000 full-time positions dro...pping from 14.4 per cent of all employees to 9.3 per cent. These clinical roles were replaced by low-paid and low-skilled personal care workers, often migrants who are given little or no support and face language barriers in the workplace. More than 26,000 such jobs were created between 2003 and 2016, pushing the proportion of these still-overworked employees from 56.5 per cent to 71.5 per cent of the entire direct care workforce."

13.01.2022 "The corporate response is to push ahead on a publicity campaign, arguing that it will listen to the community objections and somehow control the flow of grog." Well how?!

13.01.2022 More than 30 years ago I was part of a project that set up women's health programs and trained AHWs to run them in remote communities in the NT. It is somewhat dispiriting that we seem to be going backwards in some ways. We absolutely need many more female Indigenous clinicians and allied health professionals.

The words are provided online with community permission, and with audio provided by a language speaker. The languages and words are displayed on a map of Australia so that users can easily find the information relevant to their local area. (From the Briefing)
