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: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
