Australia did such a brilliant job controlling COVID in 2020 and into 2021. Then we decided it was all too hard and that, instead of managing it, we would just pretend that the pandemic is over👇

I was an expert witness at the Fair Work Commission yesterday outlining why aged care workers should be granted a 25% pay rise. It’s an open & shut case in my view. The only question now is whether we will have a government that is prepared to pay for it @AHSRI_UOW @anmf_federal

Zelensky stakes Ukraine’s own claim to Soviet victory day, with a characteristically powerful and well delivered speech. Reclaiming May 9 instead of viewing it as irrevocably contaminated. Quite bold

[Caroline Raunjak @craunjak]

More focus and funding for Palliative care is needed esp in Western Sydney . #westmead needs dedicated palliative care ward for the people of western Sydney! @Dom_Perrottet @BradHazzard @GeoffLeeMP @mcmasteryvonne @hugh_mcdermott @WestSydHealth @BenFordhamLive

Queensland Doctors sending their message to MPs. VAD Bill for those with 12 month prognosis, but no Palliative Care unless <3 months. Shame Qland Health!

For those who think COVID 19 is a hoax or "just the flu", it killed both my parents within 15 days of each other, before they could get vaccinated. Yes read that again. I feel angry both as a daughter and a doctor.

Some Moments stay with us. Gr8 bloke Jack (& wife Jane) gave me & ⁦@Dom_Perrottet⁩ such a moment explaining his need 4 palliative care just after we announced another $82.8m (over 4 yrs)above $220m p.a. Dedicated beds @COBLH & more pall services over NSW ⁦@NSWHealth⁩

[Yvonne McMaster @mcmasteryvonne]

@craunjak Every large hospital MUST have a palliative care unit into the future, and it must be staffed by specialist palliative care doctors and nurses

[Caroline Raunjak @craunjak]

Yes this!!

Your daily reminder @AlexHawkeMP has the power under S195a of Migration Act to grant the #hometobilo family permanent visas & freedom from community detention so they can go home to Biloela, work & contribute to community but he doesn’t think it’s in the public interest to do so.

Death & dying is informed by experiences, fears & health literacy.
75% of deaths in Australia receive no specialist palliative care.
Most healthcare workers get minimal palliative care training.

It’s the dying experience & bereavement that suffer.
This informs future choices.
