The government is worried about NDIS costs - but Craig Wallace says he's concerned about changes:
"We will be left with a scheme that doesn't go true to the vision about the original scheme - increasing social and economic participation for people with disabilities..." #TheDrum
Am I correct in my back of envelope calculation that the clotting risk from this vaccine is about 1/160th of the risk regularly assumed by women who take the oral contraceptive pill?
You are allowed to cross the border without a permit if you are escaping harm, or the risk of harm, due to #familyviolence. If you are stopped by police, tell them you are feeling unsafe & they will help you. https://t.co/baskZNgTZV. For statewide support https://t.co/BNpQvDyHYM.
I hope this comes across more as being a realist than a misog, but if Biden wins, it reminds me of how I felt when I learnt almost 40% of Australians voted against me being equal & able to marry a man I love. Although we won, we also lost something that day #USElectionResults
Just suggested the only way to restore confidence in aged care was to stop much of it being for profit on @sunriseon7 . We should not be encouraging people to make money out of our most vulnerable, both the very old & very young.
Almost 30% of the Vic specialist FV workforce are social workers, & there is a critical shortage of social workers to meet future workforce requirements. A hike in fees for social work degrees does not reflect a commitment to addressing family violence

1/ I am a third-year medical student. Yesterday, I was assigned a new patient. I hadn’t met them yet, but knew they had presented with liver-related symptoms. In preparation for morning rounds, I flipped through their chart and checked their lab work.
That's why today we announced:
More than $40 million for additional crisis accommodation and specialist family violence services.
$20 million for short-term accommodation so that people have somewhere to stay safe.
@Geoff_R_Sharp 😡 good on her for taking the initiative, I’m so sorry this cafe manager responded like that!! Not good enough, keep getting that resume out there!!
“For many women by the time they’re actually starting to reach out for help they are so worn down, so physically and emotionally depleted, that we cannot expect them to find services on their own” – VSAC member Jennifer explains why The Orange Door is so important #familyviolence
