The Association is also involved in advocacy for public health policy, capacity building, development, research and training. PHAA has Branches in every state and territory. Membership spans the health spectrum and over 40 public health related occupations are represented. PHAA has seventeen Special Interest Groups for members to meet with those who have similar interests and passions, to exchange information and to develop policy positions and papers. As PHAA has a national and multidisciplinary perspective on public health issues it is able to make a major contribution to the public health debate in Australia through representation on government boards, committees and other decision-making bodies such as the National Health and Medical Research Council and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. PHAA members also sit on many state and territory committees contributing to a broad spectrum of public health issues. Membership is open to any person who is supportive of the objects of the Association. PHAA members contribute to the development and execution of public health policy in Australia, and in particular bring their experience and expertise to the development of policies for the Association. These policies are developed by the appropriate Special Interest Groups, reviewed by the broader membership and finalised at the annual general meeting of the membership. When endorsed these policies become the basis for public health action for the Association. PHAA has links with public health associations world-wide and is an active member of the World Federation of Public Health Associations and also provides leadership and links closely with a network of Australian public health organisations. The Association produces a bi-monthly academic-refereed journal, the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, which disseminates public health research and ideas throughout Australia and internationally. PHAA undertakes project and conference work on issues such as immunisation, justice health, public health workforce and training and knowledge development in health promotion. The PHAA is an organisation dedicated to the promotion of public health. It is a forum through which those interested in health can develop professional and academic networks. The PHAA is guided by its Constitution, Vision, Mission and by the Strategic Plan (currently under revision). This report is designed to be an assessment of achievements of the Association from the period of 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016. 20 Napier Close Deakin ACT Australia 2600 – PO Box 319 Curtin ACT Australia 2605 3 T (02) 6285 2373 F (02) 6282 5434 E [email protected] W www.phaa.net.au PHAA ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 The Board (as at 30 June 2016) President Branch President Representative Professor Heather Yeatman Dr Paul Gardiner Vice-President (Finance) Branch President Representative Associate Professor Richard Gillian Mangan Franklin Special Interest Group Convenor Vice-President (Policy) Representative Professor Marion Carey Julia Stafford Vice-President (Aboriginal Special Interest Group Convenor and Torres Strait Islander Representative Health) Dr Peter Tait Ms Carmen Parter Vice-President (Development) Chief Executive Officer David Templeman Adjunct Professor Michael Moore 20 Napier Close Deakin ACT Australia 2600 – PO Box 319 Curtin ACT Australia 2605 4 T (02) 6285 2373 F (02) 6282 5434 E [email protected] W www.phaa.net.au PHAA ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 Staff (as at 30 June 2016) Operations and Finance Chief Executive Officer Manager Adjunct Professor Michael Moore Anne Brown Senior Policy Officer Senior Policy Officer Danielle Dalla Alexandra Culloden Events and Capacity Building Communications and Officer Engagement Officer Nicole Rutter Sophie Brown Executive Administration and Executive and Projects Membership Officer Coordinator Rodrigo Paramo Gabrielle O’Reilly 20 Napier Close Deakin ACT Australia 2600 – PO Box 319 Curtin ACT Australia 2605 5 T (02) 6285 2373 F (02) 6282 5434 E [email protected] W www.phaa.net.au PHAA ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 President’s Report In this my final report as President of the Association, I continue to be reminded of the importance of our work to advance public health, while at the same time ensuring we remain viable and proactive as an organisation. The year started with a strong focus on collective public health actions at the successful triennial Public Health Congress in Hobart. I’d like to acknowledge the collegiality and hard work of not only our own members, but also those of our partner organisations, the Australia Health Promotion Association, the Australian Epidemiology Association and the Australasian Faculty of Public Health Medicine. The Congress statement confirmed our commitments to addressing health inequities, building a stronger workforce, and the grand challenges of planetary health, climate change, economics, trade agreements and global health. These commitments will be carried forward in the on-going work of the Association and to the World Congress on Public Health in 2017. The PHAA partnered with the Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association to host a National Primary Health Care conference in November 2015, and the beginning of 2016 included the Second National Complex Needs and 15th National Immunisation conferences. These activities have the important roles of supporting our public health workforce and profiling leading public health research and practice. The uncertain environments within which the PHAA operates continued during the year, making clear advancements in public health more elusive. The Association took the opportunity to reflect on its budgetary situation to ensure stability going forward, on the operations of the office and on our strategic plans going forward. The PHAA office now has a new balance of skills and expertise that will ensure we remain viable, contemporary and actively engaged in, and leading, public health debates and action. We have re-focussed on how our branches and special interest groups can be appropriately supported. And a productive face-to-face meeting

  • Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons a Thesis
    Disablement, Diversity, Deviation: Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Sarah Gibbons 2016 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation brings disability studies and postcolonial studies into dialogue with discourse surrounding risk in the environmental humanities. The central question that it investigates is how critics can reframe and reinterpret existing threat registers to accept and celebrate disability and embodied difference without passively accepting the social policies that produce disabling conditions. It examines the literary and rhetorical strategies of contemporary cultural works that one, promote a disability politics that aims for greater recognition of how our environmental surroundings affect human health and ability, but also two, put forward a disability politics that objects to devaluing disabled bodies by stigmatizing them as unnatural. Some of the major works under discussion in this dissertation include Marie Clements’s Burning Vision (2003), Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People (2007), Gerardine Wurzburg’s Wretches & Jabberers (2010) and Corinne Duyvis’s On the Edge of Gone (2016). The first section of this dissertation focuses on disability, illness, industry, and environmental health to consider how critics can discuss disability and environmental health in conjunction without returning to a medical model in which the term ‘disability’ often designates how closely bodies visibly conform or deviate from definitions of the normal body.

  • RESET AUSTRALIA RESEARCH MEMO Anti-Vaccination & Vaccine Hesitant Narratives Intensify in Australian Facebook Groups Part 1
    RESET AUSTRALIA RESEARCH MEMO Anti-vaccination & vaccine hesitant narratives intensify in Australian Facebook Groups Part 1: Introduction ‘Anti-vaxx’ and vaccine hesitant content is both easily accessible on the leading social media platforms in Australia and on the rise. Controversy around leading public figures such as Pete Evans and Craig Kelly spreading false and misleading information related to the pandemic have been covered widely. However, this report demonstrates that national pro-vaccine campaigns are being undermined by online disinformation and misinformation proliferating in Facebook groups. Facebook groups are highly emotional spaces with dynamics that reflect those of peer-to-peer messaging apps, where the semi-closed nature and coming together around shared interest encourages members to express their opinion. These groups are designed to increase engagement, with group updates giving users a new reason to check the platform regularly therefore increasing the time users interact with the platform and its content. Maintaining engagement is key to Facebook’s business model, as the longer they can keep someone scrolling, the more advertising units they can sell. Facebook has stated that with the growth of private messaging and small groups, they intend to shift the social network more toward ‘community spaces’, with a focus on private groups. This shift in strategy - moving away from the public News Feed to push interactions in private spaces - raises concerns about the level of reliable, factually accurate information circulating in these groups. Part 2: Research Findings As part of Reset Australia’s research we identified and collected data for 13 Public Facebook Groups between January 2020 - March 2021.

DESCRIPTION What would it mean to consider we're designed to live extraordinary lives of self-healing, longevity and deep intuition? Is it possible that the advanced awareness achieved by monks, nuns and mystics - considered rare in the past - is actually meant to be a normal part of our daily lives? Human by Design explains that we no longer need to ask these questions as 'What if...?' Recent discoveries provide new ways of thinking of ourselves: our origin, our capabilities and our limits, and questions Darwin's theories on human nature. The extraordinary abilities described in this book have been with us from our beginning; rather than evolutionary add-ons, they appear to be inherent in our being. This understanding leads to even deeper mysteries: how do we awaken and maximize such awesome abilities in our lives? What role do they play in the world today? Join Gregg Braden as he crosses the traditional boundaries of science and spirituality to answer these very questions and write a new story of who we are.
