  • Illawarra & Shoalhaven Sexual Health & Blood Borne Infections Directory
    Illawarra & Shoalhaven Sexual Health & Blood Borne Infections Directory Intention of the directory: What is sexual health? According to the World Health Organisation sexual health is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity, but rather, sexual health includes a holistic state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. As such, sexual health requires a respectful approach to sexuality and relationships, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. Who is HARP? The HARP Health promotion team promote prevention, early intervention, treatment and management of HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and Sexually Transmitted Infections. The HIV and Related Programmes Unit (HARP) activity is guided by National, State and Local Health District strategies that aims to improve sexual health and reduce the harm associated with Sexually Transmissible Infections (STIs), HIV and Hepatitis C. The HARP team partner with community organisations who engage and represent people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD), young people, Aboriginal people, sex workers, gay men, men who have sex with men (MSM), people living with HIV, people who inject drugs, and heterosexuals with a recent change in partner. HARP provide a range of free resources, work in collaboration with partner organisations on projects and develop awareness raising and capacity building training sessions. What is the intention of HARP? Our intention is to create a positive environment in which the community feel comfortable to approach the issues of HIV, STIs and Blood Borne Infections (BBIs) and acknowledge the realities of their impact both within our own communities and globally. We work towards creating an environment where HIV, STIs and BBIs can be discussed, accepted and ultimately prevented without fear, myth, stigma or discrimination.

  • Feasibility of a Multi-Generational Birth Cohort Study Michelle L
    Townsend et al. Pilot and Feasibility Studies (2019) 5:32 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-019-0418-5 STUDY PROTOCOL Open Access Illawarra Born cross-generational health study: feasibility of a multi-generational birth cohort study Michelle L. Townsend1,2, Megan A. Kelly1,7, Judy A. Pickard1,2, Theresa A. Larkin1,3, Victoria M. Flood5,6, Peter Caputi1,2, Ian M. Wright1,3,4, Alison Jones1,3 and Brin F. S. Grenyer1,2* Abstract Background: There is a strong interest in the concept of developmental origins of health and disease and their influence on various factors “from cradle to grave”. Despite the increasing appreciation of this lifelong legacy across the human life course, many gaps remain in the scientific understanding of mechanisms influencing these formative phases. Cross-generational susceptibility to health problems is emerging as a focus of research in the context of birth cohort studies. The primary aim of the Illawarra Born study is to make scientific discoveries associated with improving health and wellbeing across the lifespan, with a particular focus on preventable chronic diseases, especially mental health. This birth cohort study will follow and collect data from three cohorts representing different stages across the lifespan: infants, adults (parents) and older adults (grandparents). The multi-generational, cross-sectional and longitudinal design of this birth cohort study supports a focus on the contributions of genetics, environment and lifestyle on health and wellbeing. The feasibility of conducting a multi-generational longitudinal birth cohort project was conducted through a small pilot study. Methods/design: The purpose of this paper is to report on the feasibility and acceptability of the research protocol for a collaborative cross-generation health study in the community and test recruitment and outcome measures for the main study.

Thanks to you Wollongong, together we have saved the Gong Shuttle. We signed petitions and held a public rally in the Wollongong Mall, to tell the Berejiklian Government just what we all thought of its plan to introduce Opal fares on the free Gong Shuttle service. After months of hard work and negotiations, an agreement has finally been reached where the Gong Shuttle will remain free and continue to operate 7 days a week on its existing routes, which includes stops at the University of Wollongong, Innovation Campus, Wollongong CBD and Wollongong Hospital. There will be minor changes to the timetable on Sundays and public holidays. On these days, Gong Shuttle services will run between 9.40am and 5.20pm, instead of starting at 8am and finishing at 6pm. Buses will continue to run every 20 minutes. The agreement between Transport for NSW, the University of Wollongong and Wollongong City Council makes sure that the Gong Shuttle service remains free. Does the NSW Government have some of your money? There’s more than $380 million of your money, waiting to be claimed from deceased estates, dividends, bonds and overpayments, according to Revenue NSW. So what are you waiting for?

  • Community Gardens and Farmers' Markets
    ARVELA — COMMUNITY GARDENS AND FARMERS’ MARKETS COMMUNITY GARDENS AND FARMERS’ MARKETS Exploring Representations of Food Culture in the Illawarra Paula Arvela University of Wollongong Abstract Over recent years, farmers’ markets and community gardens have increasingly become a feature of the urban landscape and a popular representation of food culture. In endorsing the increasingly popular paddock-to-plate ethos, they purportedly promote sustainable food systems thus contributing to the reduction of food miles, increase of food security and building of strong communities. For these reasons, farmers’ markets and community gardens have become significant mechanisms for the expansion of local food systems, regional socio-cultural development, and local economic revitalisation. The Illawarra, in regional NSW, has embraced them wholeheartedly. Since the 1980s the region has experienced a transition to a post-industrial knowledge-based economy, which has been accompanied by profound demographic changes. Using mixed methods of research, this study evaluates how the Illawarra’s recent socio-cultural shifts find expression in the local food culture by examining how community/school gardens and farmers’ markets have impacted on local food systems. The overall findings are suggestive of a socio-economic rift between the Illawarra’s northern and southern suburbs, which are represented in the way social agents enact practices of food consumption and production. In the affluent north, farmers’ markets cater for foodie communities Locale: The Australasian-Pacific Journal of Regional Food Studies Number 5, 2015 —1— ARVELA — COMMUNITY GARDENS AND FARMERS’ MARKETS favouring practices of stylised consumption of food; by contrast, the ethnic-diverse south pragmatically uses community/school gardens as sites of food production and social empowerment.

  • Political in the Visual Arts Catriona Moore and Catherine Speck
    CHAPTER 5 How the personal became (and remains) political in the visual arts Catriona Moore and Catherine Speck Second-wave feminism ushered in major changes in the visual arts around the idea that the personal is political. It introduced radically new content, materials and forms of art practice that are now characterised as central to postmodern and contemporary art. Moreover, longstanding feminist exercises in ‘personal-political’ consciousness-raising spearheaded the current use of art as a testing ground for various social interventions and participatory collaborations known as ‘social practice’ both in and outside of the art gallery.1 Times change, however, and contemporary feminism understands the ‘personal’ and the ‘political’ a little differently today. The fragmentation of women’s liberation, debates around essentialism within feminist art and academic circles, and institutional changes within the art world have prompted different processes and expressions of personal-political consciousness-raising than those that were so central to the early elaboration of feminist aesthetics. Moreover, the exploration and analysis of women’s shared personal experiences now also identify differences among women—cultural, racial, ethnic and class differences—in order to 1 On-Curating.org journal editor Michael Birchall cites examples such as EVA International (2012), the 7th Berlin Biennial and Documenta 13 that reflect overt and covert political ideas. Birchall outlined this feminist connection at the Curating Feminism symposium, A Contemporary Art and Feminism event co-hosted by Sydney College of the Arts, School of Letters, Arts and Media, and The Power Institute, University of Sydney, 23–26 October 2014. 85 EVERYDAY REVOLUTIONS serve more inclusive, intersectional cultural and political alliances.
