The Health System Equity Action Framework
Four decades after the Ottawa Charter called on health systems to advance equity, health equity frameworks are increasingly used across Australian health systems. However, little is known about how these frameworks conceptualize or operationalize equity within health systems. This scoping review identified 45 national, state, regional, and local health equity frameworks, with 18 analyzed in depth. Documents from health departments, Local Health D…
Evaluation of a Virtual Health Hub for people experiencing homelessness in Sydney, Australia
Background: Individuals experiencing homelessness have higher rates of chronic and mental health conditions and mortality, and face challenges accessing primary care due to a lack of affordability and availability, other competing priorities and stigma. A lack of access may also mean higher use of acute services. Virtual health care can reduce health inequity but needs user acceptance and address issues of digital literacy, access to technology, …

Community Health Navigator assisted transition of care from hospital to community
Background: Internationally, the roles of Community Health Workers, also known as Community Health Navigators (CHNs), have been developed as an intervention to improve the transition of people to their homes following a hospital admission. Generally, CHNs are trusted members of the communities they serve. This trusting relationship enables them to serve as a link between health services, social services and the community to facilitate access and …
Characteristics and Health Service Use of a Longitudinal Cohort of Carers Aged over 45 in Central and Eastern Sydney, Australia
Carers are a large portion of the Australian community. In 2018, 2.65 million Australians identified as carers, and almost one-third (32.6%) of this group were primary carers. There is currently a lack of understanding of the impact of being a carer on a person’s health and wellbeing compared to non-carers. This research was undertaken to understand the health status, health risks, and health outcomes for carers in Central and Eastern Sydney, Aus…
Impact of multimorbidity on health care utilisation in Australian older adults aged 45 years and over
Background: Multimorbidity (MM), co-occurrence of two or more chronic health conditions in an individual, is often used in the assessment of complex healthcare needs and their impact on health outcomes. Management of MM is complex, but little is known about the impact of MM on health care services. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among people aged 45+ years in New South Wales, Australia, who completed baseline questionnaires in the …
Identifying risk factors for becoming obese
Background: Obesity is the fourth leading cause of mortality globally. Australia has one of the world’s highest rates of adult obesity, with 31% being obese in 2017/2018, and increasing. If this trend continues, the Australian Bureau of Statistics predicts 18 million Australians will be obese or overweight by 2030. We aimed to identify risk factors for becoming obese among people aged 45 years and older. Methods: A record linkage longitudinal stu…

Perceived coping & concern predict terrorism preparedness in Australia
The findings of this study suggest that terrorism preparedness behaviours are strongly associated with perceived high coping but that this relationship is also mediated by personal concerns relating to this threat. Cognitive variables such as coping self-efficacy are increasingly targeted as part of natural hazard preparedness and are a viable intervention target for terrorism preparedness initiatives. Raising individual coping perceptions may pr…
Alert but less alarmed
While an increased proportion of Australians believe that the national threat of terrorism remains high, concern about being personally affected has moderated and may reflect habituation to this threat. Key sub-groups remain disproportionately concerned, notably those with lower education and migrant groups. The dissonance observed in findings relating to Australians of migrant background appears to reflect wider socio-cultural concerns associate…
Terrorism in Australia
Low education level is a risk factor for high terrorism risk perception and concerns regarding potential impacts. The pattern of concern and response among those of migrant background may reflect secondary social impacts associated with heightened community threat, rather than the direct threat of terrorism itself. These findings highlight the need for terrorism risk communication and related strategies to address the specific concerns of these s…
