Enablers of community‐led action in Australian climate disasters
This study explores how disaster‐impacted communities in New South Wales, Australia, mobilised during and after the bushfire crisis of 2019–20 and multiple catastrophic floods between 2020 and 2022. Interviews were conducted across three regions: Northern Rivers; Blue Mountains; and Hawkesbury. Our findings illuminate how community‐led actions are driven by a broad range of ‘local knowledges’, based in and organised through long‐standing networks…
Recognition and relationship-building
The role played by communities in all phases of disasters is critical, yet genuine collaboration between community-led groups and disaster management agencies remains scarce. This paper examines the dynamics of these interactions in the aftermath of a catastrophic flood and landslip event in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia, in 2022. Using qualitative data from 41 interviews undertaken one to two years after the disaster, …
Learning together about disasters through action research partnerships
Walking along side those responding to climate-related threats as co-researchers is surfacing new understanding of the potential for community action in complex and chaotic situations. Action research enables academia, government, non-government organizations and community members to learn collaboratively, building knowledge that is nuanced and contextualized. Whilst this approach aims to disrupt traditional power in relation to knowledge product…
Normalising community-led, empowered, disaster planning
Disasters (and the dynamics that proceed and follow them) are inherently disruptive of customary routines and taken for granted ordinariness. Many fear that in the context of climate change disasters will become “the new norm”. How we prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters provide a rich terrain for exploring “normality” and interrogating normalising processes. In this article we draw on insights from empirical research on policy eff…
Social Work and Human Services Responsibilities in a Time of Climate Change
Country Is Yarning to Me
Health inequalities experienced by Australian First Nations People are amongst the most marked in the world, with First Nations People dying some ten years earlier than non-Indigenous Australians. The failure of existing responses to health inequalities suggests new knowledges and questions that need to be explored. It is likely that these new knowledges sit outside of western research or practice paradigms. Through the Indigenous practice of yar…
Risk-taking behaviours among younger adolescents in rural and regional New South Wales
Risk-taking behaviours during adolescence have negative short- and long-term health impacts. Maximizing the progress made through child health improvements and preventing the onset of adult ill-health require a much greater focus on health during adolescence. Understanding the biological and social factors that shape both risk and protective factors during adolescence provides the basis for effective prevention strategies. Effective prevention st…

Social exclusion in Ulaanbaatar city Mongolia
Mongolia is undergoing rapid economic, social and political change. A key question facing the government is how it will manage this rapid change to ensure opportunities are shared among its citizens. This article reports on the findings from a household survey of 80 newly arrived residents in the fringe areas of the capital city. The paper concludes that existing government policy is not addressing the social exclusion of these residents. The soc…
How long in the wilderness? Australian lesbian parents and social policy reform
Australian social policy and legislation in relation to gay men, lesbians and their families have been ‘revolutionized’ over recent years. Between 2008 and 2010 alone we have seen an incredible 84 separate pieces of legislation amended to recognize same sex relationships in Commonwealth legislation. For some rights activists, these reforms have been too long coming but for others they have created real disquiet about the way they position non-het…
You Can Help People”
We sought to discover adolescents’ thoughts about participation in longitudinal research and identify recruitment and retention strategies that were meaningful to them. We conducted seven focus groups with 10–15‐year‐olds in two large rural centers in N ew S outh W ales, A ustralia, and all focus groups were digitally recorded, transcribed, and analyzed. Adolescents discussed factors salient to their involvement in focus groups, as well as factor…
Cleaning the sink
In many households across Australia the question 'Who cleans the sink?' symbolises an undertow of disquiet. The gendered patterning of household tasks remains resolutely resistant to feminist challenges. Despite three decades of research and policy interest in assisting Australian families reconcile work and family life, this interaction continues to be a source of stress and conflict. This paper aims to examine a work/family arrangement under ci…
Families On The Fringe
Over the past three decades, thousands of young families have moved from large cities to non-metropolitan areas of Australia. This is one of the major demographic shifts underway in Australia and demands urgent policy attention. Despite the various impetuses towards relocation, little is known about how these families fare in their new environments. This paper draws on a 3-year study of the experiences of young families who move to regional, rura…
Just Like Other Families? Supporting Lesbian-parented Families
Parenthood is increasingly a choice being made by lesbians in Australia. Although children conceived in heterosexual relationships have been raised in lesbian-parented households since the 1970s, there is now an emerging trend of children being conceived within lesbian relationships. The emergence of new family forms has implications for individuals, families, and the broader community. The present paper draws on the experiences of 17 lesbian-par…
Community development activities in the context of contracting
In Australia, as elsewhere, relations between government and community sector organisations * have undergone fundamental change over the past decade. Economic rationalism and new manageralism have reshaped funding arrangements, seeing the widespread introduction of contracts with service specifications, performance measures and reporting requirements. Within the literature there is considerable anxiety about the impact contracting may have on the…
