Graduate employability, curriculum rationalisation, and the Australian regulatory state
In June 2020, the Australian Coalition Government introduced the Job Ready Graduates (JRG) policy, seeking to discourage student uptake of humanities and social sciences (HASS) courses by increasing their cost by up 116.9%. This article offers a preliminary investigation into HASS undergraduate course offerings at four Australian universities. It finds no consistently observable effect on course offerings, but rather long-term and unevenly disper…
The ecosystem services concept in urban planning: The criteria for practical fit
Application of the ecosystem services (ES) concept in urban planning has potential for improving environmental and human health outcomes in cities. We aimed to narrow an identified ES implementation gap by identifying the criteria for the practical fit of the ES concept in urban planning. We found that local relevance and adaptability within current planning approaches were core criteria for practical fit. If not met immediately, these criteria m…
Navigating the Australian child protection system: The importance of formal and informal support for carers to effectively provide care to children in out‐of‐home care
Children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) are a vulnerable group who often experience poorer outcomes than their peers who are not in OOHC. In 2020–2021, there were approximately 46 200 children in OOHC in Australia, with 91% in a family setting with foster or kinship carers. Data from other countries show similar patterns indicating that foster and kinship carers provide care for most children in OOHC. To effectively provide children in OOHC with the …
Looked after children's right to contact with birth parents: An Australian study
In Australia, there are more than 46 000 children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC). Most of these children have been in OOHC for more than 2 years. Similarly, there are more than 407 000 children in the United States and over 80 800 in England who are ‘looked after’ with approximately one third of these children being in OOHC for more than 2 years. This paper concerns ‘looked after’ children's rights to contact with their birth parents. The United Nati…
Ecosystem services: A new framework for old ideas, or advancing environmental decision‐making? Learning from Canadian forerunners to the ES concept
Frameworks of ecosystem services (ES) are promoted as a new and important way to recognize, understand, and account for nature's benefits. We questioned assertions of the novelty of ES ideas and conducted a comparative analysis of approaches in planning, landscape architecture, and sustainable forest management against the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment ES framework. We conclude that the newer Millennium Ecosystem Assessment ES framing may assis…
Financial Challenges of Cancer for Adolescents and Young Adults and Their Parent Caregivers
This study examined the financial impact of cancer and the use of income support in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer and their parent caregivers. As part of a national Australian study exploring the psychosocial impacts of cancer, 196 AYAs ages 15 to 25 years, six to 24 months from diagnosis, and 204 parent caregivers from 18 cancer sites were surveyed. Logistic regression and chi-square analyses were conducted to assess the influe…
