SUMMARY:Challenges in providing equitable access to health in Australia
DESCRIPTION:2:30PM – 3:30PM AEST | 24 August \nFree webinar | REGISTER \nAs the COVID-19 Pandemic has powerfully demonstrated\, there is a direct link between people’s income and their health\, with people on lower incomes typically having poorer health outcomes than people with higher incomes. Health inequity is a prevalent issue in Australia\, with many challenges due to low incomes and socio-economic disadvantage and barriers to access to health services. \nBuilding on the findings from the ACOSS and UNSW joint report\, Work\, income and health inequity: A snapshot of the evidence\, this webinar will explore: \n\nWhat exactly does the data show about the relationship between health and socio-economic circumstance?\nHow could we improve the data in order to increase equitable access to health?\nHow can the policy choices we make now help improve the health outcomes for the most disadvantaged in Australia?\nImportantly\, how are the choices we are making now about COVID-19 impacting health outcomes for those with the least during this pandemic?\n\nOur guest speakers: \n\nNicole Bartholomeusz\, CEO of cohealth\nProfessor Evelyne de Leeuw\, Director\, Centre for Health Equity Training\, Research & Evaluation (CHETRE)\nErin Miller\, Manager Priority Populations and Places\, Sydney Local Health District\, NSW Health\nNicole Kilby\, Policy Officer\, National Association of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Practitioners\nHost: Dr Norman Swan\, Host of RN’s Health Report\, co-host of Coronacast & commentator on ABC TV’s 7.30

SUMMARY:Living in Lockdown – Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Free webinar | REGISTER \nSince the beginning of the lockdown in the Greater Sydney area\, community service organisations have reported a huge surge in demand and financial distress among people desperate for support. And while the Federal Government has extended support to some through the Covid Disaster Payment\, most people struggling to get by on income support have been excluded. This is despite all of them being restricted from trying to find paid work due to the lockdown. \nCommunity organisations are doing all they can to help\, but we urgently need to fix income support arrangements so people on the lowest incomes are not trapped in poverty. \nJoin the ACOSS\, NCOSS and City of Sydney to discuss the impact of lockdowns on people on the lowest incomes. The discussion will feature speakers from local community service organisations\, as well as people excluded from the Federal Government’s Covid Disaster Payments\, and struggling to get by on the $44 a day JobSeeker rate. \nConveners: \n\nDr Cassandra Goldie\, CEO\, Australian Council of Social Service (Co-Convenor) MC\nMs Joanna Quilty\, CEO\, NSW Council of Social Service\nMs Monica Barone\, CEO\, City of Sydney\n\nSpeakers: \n\nUncle Allan Murray\, Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council – Welcome to Country\nMs Katherine McKernan\, CEO\, Homelessness NSW\nMs Ashlee Donohue\, Mudgin-Gal Aboriginal Women’s Centre\nMs Frances Rush OAM\, CEO\, Asylum Seekers’ Centre\nMichael Shreenan\, Executive Officer\, Counterpoint Community Services\n\nWe are committed to providing accessible and inclusive events. Live captioning services will be provided for this event. If you have any access or communication needs\, please contact 0418 479 243 and we will be happy to discuss your needs.

SUMMARY:Webinar: What's happening in Mutual Obligations and employment services?
DESCRIPTION:People receiving income support say that navigating the government’s Mutual Obligation requirements system can be frustrating and stressful. There is also a long-held concern that these requirements are unfair and that they do not help people get suitable\, secure paid work. \nJoin us at an interactive webinar with ACOSS’s Senior Policy Advisor Simone Casey who will talk about current requirement policies\, with a Q&A session facilitated by ACOSS Community Organiser and Engagement Officer\, Michelle Shackleton. There will be opportunities to share your experiences with current job search requirements\, both in an out of lockdown\, and tell us how payment suspensions have impacted you\, which will inform an upcoming ACOSS report about the jobactive system. \nWe’ll outline next steps in our advocacy for fairer employment services social policy and we hope it will be the start of an ongoing community conversation about employment services into the future.

SUMMARY:Community Sector Climate Change Advocacy Week
DESCRIPTION:Rapidly worsening climate change is hurting our communities. Our sector has been on the frontline of helping communities respond to the impacts of more intense and frequent bushfires\, drought\, floods\, storms\, and heatwaves. Without fast\, fair and inclusive action on climate change\, these threats will continue to worsen. \nIn November this year\, all Governments will be required to submit their climate pollution reduction targets at the United Nations Climate Summit. Australia’s current targets are inadequate. Join us for Community Sector Climate Change Advocacy Week 4-8 October in calling on the Australian federal government to commit to stronger targets and fair and inclusive policies to cut climate pollution this decade. \nThere are three things you can do: \n\nSign the Community Sector Climate Change Declaration to show decision-makers that a fast\, fair and inclusive plan to address climate change this decade matters to the community sector and the communities we work with. The Declaration will be delivered to Federal decision-makers in Advocacy Week.\nShare a statement on why fast\, fair and inclusive climate action matters to your community organisation.\nJoin the chorus of community sector voices in a social media Day of Action on 7th of October to share your support for the Declaration and call for #FairFastClimateAction. Find social media tiles and a messaging guide in the social media kit for the Day of Action.

SUMMARY:ACOSS Policy Webinar Series: Reducing long-term unemployment
DESCRIPTION:For years\, Australian governments have under-invested in impactful employment services\, and instead have over-invested in compliance systems and penalties affecting people on unemployment payments. We know recessions cast long shadows\, and it will be hard to reduce unemployment much further when over 800\,000 people (three quarters of those on unemployment payments) are unemployed long-term*. \nOnce people have been unemployed for a long time\, it’s harder to break back into paid work. As well as having a gap in their resume\, many people on unemployment payments face barriers to employment such as discrimination on the basis of age or race\, caring roles\, or living in a region with high unemployment. \nThis webinar will explore: \n\nNew research and data on long-term unemployment\, its causes\, and who is affected\nWhat the federal government can do to reduce it\, starting with ‘’full employment’’ policies to generate jobs\, and including employment programs that give people a better chance of picking up the jobs available\n\nJoin us as we discuss key findings of ACOSS’s Faces of Unemployment 2021 report\, which provides a snapshot of people on unemployment payments and the jobs and employment services available to them. This report focuses on long-term unemployment. \nWe will hear from people directly impacted\, research partners\, and experts on policies to strengthen employment and the government’s ‘’New Employment Services’’ due to start next year. \nSpeakers include (more to be announced in the coming weeks): \n\nSandra Elhelw Wright\, Chief Executive Officer\, Settlement Council of Australia\nA presentation from Dr Peter Davidson\, Principal Advisor\, ACOSS\n\n  \n  \n*Over 12 months – measured in terms of long-term receipt of unemployment payment

With a looming federal election\, the Uluru Statement from the Heart campaign is seeking bipartisan support to hold a referendum to establish a constitutionally entrenched Voice to Parliament during the first term of office. The sequencing of Voice\, Treaty (Makarrata) and Truth-telling is critical to a new way forward for First Nations peoples. \nJoin this webinar to receive detailed briefings on the background and context to the regional dialogues that culminated in the Uluru Convention and formulation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. The session will also provide an update on where the Uluru Statement from the Heart campaign is now\, what’s coming up and things that you can do to actively support the call for constitutional change.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Welfare and Conditionality in Australia
DESCRIPTION:The workshop comes in the wake of a series of momentous changes to income supports\, social security\, and employment services in Australia. These include the introduction of Workforce Australia and points-based activation in July\, coupled with the recent end of the Cashless Debit Card program and the announcement of an ongoing Parliamentary inquiry into Australia’s privatised employment services. \nWith contributions from some of Australia’s leading social policy scholars and advocacy organisations working at the coalface of social security reform\, the workshop assesses the impacts of recent policy and service delivery reforms on single parents and their children\, unemployed workers\, and others subject to mutual obligations and conditionality. It also lays out the urgency of continuing reforms to properly recognise and value care in welfare policy and to address the debilitating effects of poverty and stigma on people’s lives. \nThe day is organized into a series of four sessions with extensive opportunities for reflective discussion. \nSpeakers include Dr Simone Casey\, Senior Advisor\, ACOSS.
