All you need is your Medicare card at our Urgent Care Clinics.

We’ve opened 87 of them across the country, including this one in Perth.

They’re for when it’s urgent but not an emergency.

#HealthFunding dictates the quality of care received by all. It involves the vital role of stakeholders, requiring effective collaboration and strategic planning to ensure the health and wellbeing of our communities. #MED6288 #HealthPolicy @healthgovau @AusHealthcare

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

Health policies are created to protect populations, fostering more robust and inclusive #HealthSystems. Policy developments must reflect the evolving populations and the needs they aim to protect. This conversation involves us all! #MED6288 #HealthEquity

@BHennebury I agree, Wald was right. Personally, I think it's the little imperfections in live music that make it real and human. Many artists hide behind autotune causing them to do poor live. This allows us to pick out true musical talent when live and studio music are similar. #POPMUSF21

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@hynes_reilly Very true! I enjoy live music since it allows artists to change up their music in interesting ways. At Greta Van Fleet shows, they often add in variations of their lyrics and music and play entertaining transitions between songs. You connect more to the artist this way.#POPMUSF21

@BrophyGriffin Agreed! If anything, it's a valuable piece of black history that shows the racism experienced throughout the music industry. It's a shame that many black artists of well-known songs didn't get the credit they deserved, all because they didn't depict a certain image. #POPMUSF21

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@DougBailey1 The fact that Fabian was able to produce music for simply having that clean, white middle-class appearance, is so wrong. This really tells us how early rock music seemed to be about image and success, opposed to true passion and talent. #POPMUSF21

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@georgeken10_ Agreed, Ray's unique vocals exude passion and soul. Breaking vocals attracted many listeners for him and allowed him to stand out. Etta James is another R&B artist whose voice also provides such passion. This genre of music is what people don't realize they need today #POPMUSF21

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@wjneville31 So true! When I listened to "I've got a Woman" I enjoyed Ray's unique sound. His use of a breaking voice kept me engaged in the song and it really provided soul to the music. This vocal technique is really impressive and effective in capturing listeners attention!#POPMUSF21

@Isaacwalsh161 I love AirPods, they provide a different listening experience. When they first came out there were many funny memes/posts of people who own them saying "I don't speak broke". There was a social divide at this time since many felt only wealthy people could afford them. #POPMUSF21

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@hynes_reilly Agreed, streaming services allow you to be in control of what you listen to. I think they encourage people to listen to certain music. They make playlists for various moods/themes, with a variety of music which influence us to listen to new and different types of music.#POPMUSF21

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@Isaacwalsh161 I agree, songs today vary in length and there are many songs that are brief but gain popularity because of the artistry of the music and lyrics. Also, it helps the artist with the direction of their music, as in the case of “Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon” by Queen. #POPMUSF21

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@hstapleton333 Great points, I think lyrics are often overlooked by the music. The song, “Hey Ya!” by Outkast is an example of this, as it's upbeat and catchy. The lyrics are about a difficult relationship, many wouldn't know as the music has an opposite and more dominant emotion. #POPMUSF21

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@Sofiya67538768 I completely agree with you! Spending time with the ones we love allows our minds to shift into a new, positive focus. I find studying with friends puts me in a happier mood since it allows me to study while my mind can be at ease. Being around others can be beneficial. #HKR1000

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@chelseanhiscock I agree! A lot of students stay up late to cram for an exam, which is exactly what not to do. By getting consistent, good quality sleep, it can improve mental, emotional, and physical performance. This is useful for students since we are constantly busy with school work. #HKR1000

[Melanie Walsh @melaniew418]

@BCamerontobin I agree! By having self-confidence, it will not only allow your mental and emotional wellbeing to thrive, but it will also give you a positive outlook on life. Accepting and loving who you are, contributes greatly to your overall wellness! #HKR1000
