Eight in 10 indicated they are experiencing workplace stress with the majority citing excessive workloads and lack of resources.
Previous BHI reports revealed higher than ever levels of activity following the first COVID wave and we anticipate a similar rebound in demand for care in the last quarter of 2021 and going forward in 2022. amansw.com.au/ama-nsw-urges-…

Today is the UN Refugee Agency's 71st birthday. It is a moment of sombre reflection on the deficit of global peace over the past 7 decades and what that has meant for the millions of people who have been driven from their homes as a result.

It is great to be at the launch of the #NationalPreventiveHealthStrategy and great to see reducing the harm from alcoholic products and drugs as a focus area of the new Strategy.

Australia's first 10-year National Preventive Health Strategy is being launched by @GregHuntMP. 26,000 people died last year of preventable illness. This strategy is a game-changer.

For all its imperfections (and out of pocket is one of the biggest), we should treasure the fact that we have universal healthcare.
WHO/@WorldBank report reveals that even prior to the #COVID19 pandemic, up to 90% of all households incurring out-of-pocket health spending were already at or below the poverty line. bit.ly/3ERwuog #UHCDay

I can’t stand by while our local member votes with Barnaby Joyce on climate change.
That’s why I’m putting my hand up to be Kooyong's community candidate. I will be a true representative and fight for women's safety, climate action and a Federal ICAC.

.@UNICEF's new report is a sobering assessment of all the ways in which #COVID19 is threatening decades of global progress for children, including on challenges like poverty, health, and mental health. An equitable recovery is a global imperative. unicef.org/reports/unicef-75…
So great to see these ads hit the airwaves. Every moment in pregnancy counts when it comes to alcohol! Prevent harm to the unborn child.

#FGMC is a form of #GBV that is affecting women & girls across large swathes of Asia. In the highest prevalence countries in the region - Malaysia & Indonesia - the practice is done mainly on infants & young girls, amounting to violence against children.
