Media Release: WA health groups call for government to act on commitments on climate action to protect health

Our latest press release. In Australia, we’ll have fair access to vaccines, with vulnerable people prioritised. But for other medical and social needs? Not so fair. #sdoh #auspol

[DRS WA @drs_wa]

Doctors in WA: please sign this petition to protect WA forests. https://t.co/L0RxtOINdP Another worthwhile initiative of @DocsEnvAus

Increasing private health insurance fees during a time when elective surgery has plummeted: is this about the interests of members or of shareholders? https://t.co/ECHAfSmbSq

[Doctors Reform Society @drsreform]

Our latest press release, in which we call on senators to resist Peter Dutton’s plan to take phones away from detained refugees and people seeking asylum. How dehumanising. And how threatening to mental health. @ASRC1

[Doctors Reform Society @drsreform]

Mobile phones can be a lifeline to health care for people in detention. Taking them away will harm mental for vulnerable people. Please sign this petition before it is presented to parliament tomorrow.

Why the cuts to ECG rebates for GPs? @GregHuntMP 's explanation doesn't stack up. We must defend access to important medical care - including ECGs. https://t.co/fKWAkGXaYU

Time for an integrated, comprehensive, equitable health system, and renewed attention to the social determinants of health, writes our president @woodruff_tim https://t.co/8xFSQM4CYm #sdoh #auspol #COVID19

[DRS WA @drs_wa]

We have made a submission to the WA EPA opposing the proposed Burrup Hub gas developments on climate and health grounds. Have you submitted? Consultation closes today. This page makes it easy: https://t.co/Y3ymE48Et9 @CleanStateWA

It was practically a foregone conclusion once it passed the upper house, but it’s worth thanking the WA parliament for their passing of voluntary assisted dying legislation today. Now, let’s optimise access for all to palliative care... https://t.co/YDBnKoYJkF

[Doctors Reform Society @drsreform]

We applaud the passing in the WA upper house of the Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation. We believe dying people should have the right to this choice. We also need to optimise access to quality palliative care. https://t.co/WMbeJehNoa

“The situation has several health economists and policy experts questioning whether the private health insurance industry, far from being salvageable through reform, is worth saving at all.” https://t.co/sDhkAPypDg #auspol
