  • The Telegraph and the Beginnings of Telemedicine in Australia
    Global Telehealth 2012 67 A.C. Smith et al. (Eds.) © 2012 The authors and IOS Press. This article is published online with Open Access by IOS Press and distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License. doi:10.3233/978-1-61499-152-6-67 The Telegraph and the Beginnings of Telemedicine in Australia Robert H EIKELBOOMa,b,1 a Ear Science Institute Australia, Subiaco, Australia b Ear Sciences Centre, School of Surgery, The University of Western Australia Abstract. The history of telemedicine is at times presented to commence in the 20th century. Events in Central Australia in 1874 show that the history goes further back, when the newly constructed telegraph played an important telemedicine role not only in enabling care for a wounded person, but also in uniting a dying man with his wife 2000 kilometres away. Innovation with the tools at hand has proven to be effective to bridge the tyranny of distance in the delivery of health care. Keywords. Telemedicine, history, Australia, telegraph Introduction Communication and information technologies are vital components in almost every telemedicine application, with advances in ICT usually driving development in telemedicine. The beginnings of telemedicine are to be found in the invention of the telegraph, with wireless, telephones, television, imaging devices, and the Internet all adding to the utility of telemedicine. Aronson [1] recounts the first reported use of the telephone for telemedicine in 1879 when a doctor listening to the cough of an infant reassured the grandmother that it was not croup and refused to attend for a house call.

    13. Recreational values Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Part 13. Recreational values 13.1 Recreational values in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan The Basin Plan cites a number of considerations regarding recreational values of water including: Schedule 1 – Basin water resources and the context for their use • Item 26: The water resources of the Murray‑Darling Basin are used in agriculture, non‑ agricultural industry, meeting critical human water needs and normal domestic requirements, for recreational and cultural purposes, and in maintaining freshwater ecosystems. • Item 32: The resources are also used for water sports, wider recreational activities, to attract visitors to particular regions, and for visual amenity. • Item 39: An estimated 430,000 people use Basin water resources for more than 5 million recreational fishing trips a year, with a most likely direct expenditure estimate of $1.35 billion (DPI, 2011). Recreation and tourism use of Basin water resources is generally non‑consumptive, but depends on a degree of ecological health. Ramsar‑listed wetlands are significant tourist destinations. The objectives and outcomes in the Basin Plan include: • 5.02 (a) Communities with sufficient and reliable water supplies that are fit for a range of intended purposes, including domestic, recreational and cultural use Water quality management plans prepared as part of meeting the Basin Plan also require consideration of recreational values: • 9.07 The water quality objective for recreational water quality is to achieve a low risk to human health from water quality threats posed by exposure through ingestion, inhalation or contact during recreational use of Basin water resources. • 9.18 The water quality targets for water used for recreational purposes are that the values for cyanobacteria cell counts or biovolume meet the guideline values set out in Chapter 6 of the Guidelines for Managing Risks in Recreational Water.
