  • Inquiry to Visit Darwin, Perth & Regional WA
    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES MEDIA ALERT COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE Issued: 8 March 2001 INQUIRY INTO REGIONAL RADIO ATT: NT, Perth & WA Regional Media Inquiry to visit Darwin, Perth & regional WA Regional Radio under investigation 12 & 13 March The House of Representatives’ Communications Committee is investigating the adequacy of radio services in non-metropolitan Australia. It is looking at the quantity and quality of all radio services, including those provided by the ABC, commercial and community broadcasters. The Inquiry has already undertaken a comprehensive program of hearings and visits on the East Coast, and is now turning its attention to the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The Committee will be holding Public Hearings in Darwin, Geraldton, Perth and Walpole (near Albany) this Monday and Tuesday (12/13 March). The House Communications Committee Chair, Mr Paul Neville, says while the dominant issue of the Inquiry on the East Coast has been the perceived loss of local radio content because of centralised networking, the dominant issue in the Territory and the West appears to be quite different – the lack of any services at all. Mr Neville says the Inquiry has “touched a raw nerve” in regional Australia. “The response to this Inquiry has been enormous,” Mr Neville said. “The size of the response has confirmed just how hugely important radio is to people in non-metropolitan areas. “In the lead-up to the Territory and WA hearings we have received submissions about large radio reception ‘black spots’ where no services are received, and large areas which receive very limited services. We will be looking into these matters with a view to Government action.” Mr Neville says the Inquiry has examined how changes in the regulatory environment and developments in technology have led to substantial changes in radio services.

  • Growing Health Partnerships in Rural and Remote Communities
    Primary Health Care Research & Development 2018; 19: 503–517 RESEARCH doi:10.1017/S146342361700086X Growing health partnerships in rural and remote communities: what drives the joint efforts of primary schools and universities in maintaining service learning partnerships? Sue Kirby1, Fabian P. Held2, Debra Jones3 and David Lyle4 1Senior Research Fellow, Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Broken Hill, NSW, Australia 2Charles Perkins Centre, Faculty of Science, School of Mathematics and Statistics, The University of Sydney, Broken Hill, NSW, Australia 3Director, Primary Health Care Stream, Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Broken Hill, NSW, Australia 4Head of Department, Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Broken Hill, NSW, Australia Aim: This study explored the partnership between universities and local primary schools to deliver a classroom-based paediatric communication impairment service provided by undergraduate speech pathology students. It aimed to understand how partnerships work to facilitate programme replication. Background: The partners included universities sending students on rural clinical placement, local host academic units and primary schools who worked together to provide paediatric speech and lan- guage services in primary schools in three sites in Australia. Rural and remote com- munities experience poorer health outcomes because of chronic workforce shortages, social disadvantage and high Aboriginality, poor access to services and underfunding. Methods: The study was in twofold: qualitative analysis of data from interviews/focus group with the partners in the university and education sectors, and quantitative social network analysis of data from an electronic survey of the partners. Findings: Factors supporting partnerships were long-term, work and social relationships, commitment to community, trust and an appetite for risk-taking.

  • Jack Learmonth Ochiltree (1870-1954) Was Born 25 April 1870 at Ballarat, Victoria, the Son of Thomas and Marion Ochiltree
    Jack Ochiltree (Battye, J.S., Cyclopedia of Western Australia , Vol.1, 1912, p.542; RAIA, c.1930s) Jack Learmonth Ochiltree (1870-1954) was born 25 April 1870 at Ballarat, Victoria, the son of Thomas and Marion Ochiltree. Jack completed his articles 1887-1891 under the impressive but short-lived Alfred Dunn (1865-1894), joint architect of the splendid be-domed Melbourne head office of the Commercial Bank of Australia in 1890. Fleeing depressed Victoria for Western Australia in 1894, Ochiltree served in the architectural branch of the Government Railways for three years. During the height of the Western Australian gold boom, he moved to the goldfields and worked at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie-Boulder. In 1897 Jack was acting as clerk of works on the Maritana Street, Kalgoorlie branch of the Bank of Australasia, designed by architects Porter & Thomas. A volunteer corps officer, Ochiltree departed Kalgoorlie to serve with the Fifth Contingent at the Boer War, embarking at Fremantle in early 1901. While Jack was in South Africa, he received word that his brother William H. Ochiltree, employed by the Harbours and Rivers Branch of the Public Works Department had died prematurely in Perth, aged just 29. Upon Jack Ochiltree’s return to Western Australia in May 1902, he resumed practice in Perth. During 1903-1904 Jack was listed in Perth, working in a partnership with goldfields architects Geoffrey Oswald Hawkins and Hedley Vicars Sprigg, possibly former employers, as Hawkins Sprigg & Ochiltree. His office was located at the Cathedral Chambers, alongside St George’s Cathedral, where on 29 December 1903 Jack married Mary Rose Loton, daughter of prominent Perth businessman W.T.

  • The Bulletin Volume 42, Issue 2 7 July 2008
    Rotary Club of Ballarat South The Bulletin Volume 42, Issue 2 7 July 2008 West We Go!! Or Wuestewald Ho!! Chairman Barry gave a ‘short’ introduction to our guest speaker, Rotarian David Stewart. David provided a wonderful outline of his recent trip to The West occasionally accompanied by other ‘gypsies’ from the Club - the Murphys, Drennans and Wuestewalds, whom they travelled with across the Nullarbor. Caravanning is a great way to see the country, enjoy great company and make new friends (especially during Happy Hour which commences around 4pm for certain Rotarians). David provided a number of stories and reports on the trip across the Nullarbor, through the vast wheat Inside this issue: growing area including Wirrulla where they were devastated to find the pub was closed on a Sunday; to camping at a sheep station near Norseman. Obviously many stories and incidents which happened on the trip – stayed on the trip! Parting company from the others the Stewarts headed to Kalgoorlie where they took in many sights, Annual Vocational 2 observed the local customs and studied some business opportunities, viewed of course from David’s Service Report professional perspective. Final conclusion: $250 went nowhere and they didn’t do lay-bys. Rejoined the Drennans and the Murphys near Esperance for a short time, then headed off solo again 2007/2008 3 towards the west coast. An interesting stop was at New Norcia, a quaint little place settled by the Bene- Attendance Figures dictine monks, who now own the entire town including, the pub, service station and a vast amount of the surrounding land.
