Previous BHI reports revealed higher than ever levels of activity following the first COVID wave and we anticipate a similar rebound in demand for care in the last quarter of 2021 and going forward in 2022. amansw.com.au/ama-nsw-urges-…

It is great to be at the launch of the #NationalPreventiveHealthStrategy and great to see reducing the harm from alcoholic products and drugs as a focus area of the new Strategy.

Australia's first 10-year National Preventive Health Strategy is being launched by @GregHuntMP. 26,000 people died last year of preventable illness. This strategy is a game-changer.

I can’t stand by while our local member votes with Barnaby Joyce on climate change.
That’s why I’m putting my hand up to be Kooyong's community candidate. I will be a true representative and fight for women's safety, climate action and a Federal ICAC.
