Sharing news in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women's Health RTs not an endorsement

“Climate refugees”. A doctor on board HMAS Choules out of Mallacoota dubs himself and fellow survivors. Incredibly powerful language

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

This is something that we don’t talk about enough.

The bushfire crisis is incredibly traumatising for a lot of Australians. Their mental health must be a priority.

Because recovery doesn’t just mean rebuilding homes and businesses – it means rebuilding lives too.

Reduce your risk. Protect yourself from #melioidosis this wet season by wearing shoes and gloves when handling soil and avoiding going out in wet and windy conditions. https://t.co/3ZfL7GJOTr

Families with babies are stranded in Mallacoota - where the sky has once again turned 'pitch black' - after being told they could not be evacuated via Navy ships because their children were under five https://t.co/WULjq0QqY0 #Victoriafires #NSWFires

In Australia, children aged 10 can be charged, prosecuted, and imprisoned. Criminalising the behaviour of vulnerable kids creates a vicious cycle of disadvantage #RaiseTheAge #auspol https://t.co/H4073a0a0f

Good read: “We need to be smart and make the movement appealing to the average white person,” they said. “Leftists will recognise dog whistles and know we’re crypto[fascists], but normies won’t listen to them.”

#TIMESUPHC - such a great initiative!

Time for everyone to embrace gender equity & diversity, call out discrimination, and advocate for kind and respectful workplaces. Better for staff. Better for patients. Better for Healthcare ⭐️⭐️

As someone who has never received a cent of gov funding & self funded all of my work, I am literally smh thinking what I could have done w this type of cash. Will continue to push for accountability by gov, for outcomes, + how the funding is spent! https://t.co/j4PO1pgScr #auspol

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

Agree. When non-indigenous children suicide we look for deficits in society. When indigenous kids suicide we look for deficits in their families or culture.
When are we going to a more empathic view of indigenous child suicides and for bereaved parents!

Today we published our report showing that children with learning disability have life expectancy that is 15-20 yrs shorter than the average. Much of this due to #SDOH

Worse, we saw on today’s @ABCthedrum that despite @mukabout presenting the considered findings of nearly 6000 Drs to bring #KidsOffNauru , @ScottMorrisonMP is claiming adequate care.Yet has always REFUSED #AMA access, checks, or press freedom to enquire. @ama_media @amapresident
