The National Roadmap for Improving the Health of People with Intellectual Disability
Introduction: People with intellectual disability experience significantly poorer health and preventable premature mortality than the general community, with a median life expectancy of 54 years (Trollor et al, 2017). It is increasingly being acknowledged that the health system contributes to health disparities, partly due to attitudes, values, skills and knowledge of health professionals and models of care. These are relevant for people with int…
Time as a Social and Environmental Determinant of Health for Rural Women
Background. Time insufficiency is frequently cited as a reason for poor dietary habits. This does not adequately explain the variations in how time is perceived as a factor in healthy eating. Aims. This study placed the eating behaviors of rural Australian women within the contexts of their stories to understand the factors that influenced healthy eating and how rural communities could enhance their health and well-being. Method. A three-phase se…
Towards research impact
There is increasing pressure on academics to show the impact of their research. At the same time, policy-makers are expected to draw upon a wide base of evidence, including academic research, to develop innovative solutions to often intractable societal problems. Despite these complementary objectives of impact and use of evidence, the relationship between academics and policy-makers is often difficult. Some have characterized these groups as ‘tw…
Fly-In/Fly-Out, Flexibility and the Future
The resources boom in Australia has resulted in considerable competition for labour, particularly in remote mining areas. Shortage of skilled labour has led mining companies to source workers from far afield, while the high incomes created by a tight labour market draw labour from across the country through long-distance commuting arrangements such as fly-in/fly-out (FIFO). While much recent literature has focused on the impacts on receiving comm…
Farmer-driven Innovation in New South Wales, Australia
Knowledge generation and the interactions that allow for knowledge exchange are key processes of innovation. Yet these processes are not well understood at the farm level, nor are they well reflected in policy approaches for agricultural innovation. Farmers in New South Wales have used diverse ways to implement innovations in land management. They employ a range of strategies including observing signals from the landscape, independent testing and…
Investigating reasons for ethnic inequalities in breast cancer survival in New Zealand
Ethnic disparities in breast cancer survival in New Zealand can be attributed to deprivation and differential access to health care rather than differences in breast cancer subtypes
The Population Policy Debate from a Natural Resource Perspective
Generations of Australians, especially those who live in rural or remote areas, have struggled to better understand, manage, and adapt to Australia's unique environmental conditions. Increased awareness of pressures and impacts of population growth has renewed the long-standing debate on the nation's capacity to sustainably manage natural resources. Since 2002, the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists has been active in debates linking science…
The re-emergence of regional policy and planning in Western Australia
Regional Matters
Whole‐of‐government approaches to policy development are increasingly seen as critical in developing comprehensive understanding of issues and development of policies. This article argues that cooperative approaches to using and understanding information are as important as cooperative approaches to policy development and implementation. In August 2002 the Victorian government released Regional Matters: An Atlas of Regional Victoria which was the…
