  • Adelaide Coastal Waters Information Sheet No. 3
    Adelaide Coastal Waters Information Sheet No. 3 Changes in urban environments Issued August 2009 EPA 769/09: This information sheet is part of a series of Fact Sheets on the Adelaide coastal waters and the findings of the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS). Introduction Since European settlement in the 1830s, the Adelaide plains and Adelaide’s coastal environment have been subject to considerable change and pressure from a continually increasing population. In recent years there has been growing community concern about the effects of coastal and catchment development on the marine environment. Increases in stormwater flows and waste from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have also been of concern. Nutrients and other pollutants introduced to Adelaide’s nearshore waters from urban and rural runoff, WWTPs and some industrial sources have been found by the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study (ACWS) to have had a negative impact on Adelaide’s nearshore marine environment, including the loss of over 5,000 hectares of seagrass. Historical catchment changes When Adelaide was selected by Colonel William Light for South Australia’s state capital in 1836 there was a wide belt of coastal dunes and wide sandy beaches stretching to the north and south of Glenelg. From Seacliff to Outer Harbor there was a 30 km stretch of sand dunes broken only by the Patawalonga Creek at Glenelg. The Torrens River flowed into a series of swamps lying behind the coastal dunes and drained both north and south to the sea through the Patawalonga Creek and Port River system. The stretch of sand dunes comprised two or more parallel ridges each about 70 to 100 metres wide separated by narrow depressions or swales, consequently very little surface catchment runoff would have reached the coastline.

  • Osborne Park Hosptial, Perth, Western Australia
    Pathway to Excellence® Case Study: Osborne Park Hospital, Perth, Western Australia Established in 1962, Osborne Park Hospital (OPH) provides comprehensive specialist health care services to patients and families throughout Western Australia (WA). The 150-bed facility features three main clinical areas: rehabilitation and aged care, surgical services, and women’s and newborn services. Several years ago, nursing leaders sought new ways to revitalize the hospital’s mature workforce, motivate and engage younger nurses, and validate the exceptional work of the nursing staff. ANCC’s Pathway to Excellence Program offered the perfect vehicle to achieve these goals. The journey gave OPH the opportunity to benchmark against international norms and positively transform the practice environment. In addition, the prospect of being the first Australian hospital with the Pathway to Excellence designation was very motivating. In 2014, OPH became the first hospital in Australia and the second hospital outside of the United States to earn the Pathway credential. The achievement led to several significant quality and safety improvements. A nurse-driven hand hygiene compliance campaign focused on improving the hospital’s handwashing rate over a two-year period. Strategies included staff education, a new jewelry and nail policy, regular updates via newsletter, notice boards and competitions, and targeting staff groups with low compliance rates. As a result, the hospital’s hand hygiene compliance rate improved from 55% to more than 88%, significantly above the Australian national average of 72%. OPH is regularly among the top-performing hospitals in WA for hand hygiene and recently received the WA Health Award in the Performance Improvement Category.

  • European Discovery and South Australian Administration of the Northern Territory
    3 Prior to 1911: European discovery and South Australian administration of the Northern Territory The first of five time periods that will be used to structure this account of the development and deployment of vocational education and training in the Northern Territory covers the era when European explorers initially intruded upon the ancient Aboriginal tribal lands and culminates with the colony of South Australia gaining control of the jurisdiction. Great Britain took possession of the northern Australian coastline in 1824 when Captain Bremer declared this section of the continent as part of New South Wales. While there were several abortive attempts to establish settlements along the tropical north coast, the climate and isolation provided insurmountable difficulties for the would-be residents. Similarly, the arid southern portion of this territory proved to be inhospitable and difficult to settle. As part of an ongoing project of establishing the borders of the Australian colonies, the Northern Territory became physically separated from New South Wales when the Colonial Office of Great Britain gave control of the jurisdiction to the Government of the Colony of South Australia in 1863 (The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia 1974, p. 83) following the first non-Indigenous south to north crossing of the continent by the South Australian-based explorer John McDouall Stuart in the previous year. 35 VocatioNAL EducatioN ANd TRAiNiNg On the political front, in 1888 South Australia designated the Northern Territory as a single electoral district returning two members to its Legislative Assembly and gave representation in the Upper House in Adelaide. Full adult suffrage was extended by South Australia to all Northern Territory white residents in 1890 that demonstrated an explicit and purposeful disenfranchisement of the much more numerous Asian and Aboriginal populations.
