The Backpacker Guide
The Backpacker Guide Part of the appeal of backpacking is that you can just ‘up and go’ as you are your own master. A campervan compliments that appeal perfectly, allowing you to travel Australia at your leisure, without a care for anything else. A campervan holiday is a way not just to see Australia, but to experience it too. See all the big tourist attractions, but also see the hidden treasures in between. Travelling in a Campervan is like a ‘home on wheels’. Depending on the vehicle you choose, you will have the ability to cook in your own kitchen, store your food and clothes in the cupboards and sleep in your own bedroom. All with the added benefit of being mobile whenever it suits you.

But behind this statistic lies a big challenge. We are now facing rapidly increasing rates of chronic illness, linked to unhealthy lifestyles.

Their impact is magnified amongst disadvantaged members of the community. VicHealth works with governments, organisations and communities to create healthier social conditions and improved built environments for everyone.

Our Purpose at Work: Serving Organisations That Do Good
June 2017 Right Lane Consulting Our purpose at work: serving organisations that do good Helping organisations that do good do better is central to our management consulting practice. The work we do with for profit and not for profit organisations that play a constructive role in creating a better world is above all else why we come to work and what gives us meaning and fulfilment in our professional lives. In last year’s Our Purpose at Work, we concentrated on the good work of some of our not for profit clients. In 2016 we were fortunate enough to serve close to 100 clients that do good— for profit and not for profit and clients that are having a positive social impact. Here is a summary of the challenges we helped some of them solve, relating to their role and purpose, strategy and growth, organisational alignment, governance and stakeholder engagement, and ideation and innovation. Role and purpose AFL SportsReady is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that helps young Australians develop careers through traineeships and educational opportunities. In 2016, we facilitated a workshop with the board and executive team that explored the future direction of the company, the climate within vocational education, the partnership with the AFL and the next three-year strategy. The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria is a member based organisation that promotes and celebrates agriculture through the Royal Melbourne Show, administering food, wine and livestock awards and managing the Melbourne Showgrounds, which hosts events all year round. Right Lane has had a long history of serving the RASV and in the past year helped its board to reach the position that the Show is a mass-consumer event that enables it to reinvest in its core purpose relating to the advancement of agriculture. -
