Very excited to be invited to participate in the VCCC Alliance Health Equity Data Roundtable in Naarm today. Here’s to improved data for better health outcomes!

🎙️This week on #PolicyForumPod we delve into the Intergenerational Report.🎙️

Dr Liz Allen and Paul Burke discuss the challenges and opportunities it highlights, and what needs to be done to avoid demographic destiny.

How can we have 93 pieces of legislation but still have policy inaction? Gaby Ramia took us through the types of policy inaction and how they've played out for International Student welfare

Exciting modelling presented by A/Prof Ben Edwards Social Research @ANU: 1. impacts on child poverty with a doubling of Family Tax Benefit A & B
2. the cost of eliminating child poverty through a guaranteed minimum income
A great start to have modelling, now need a trial & gov buy-in!

Prof Gerry Redmond presented an analysis of increases in parent expenditure on education over time, differences in extra-curricular activity participation by SES, and decreasing income supports. Raising questions for us all to consider

Fascinating work on counting ethnicity in the AUstralian census presented by Dr Liz Allen. Inclusive, rigorous, yet pragmatic work using mixed methods approaches. Bravo. 👏 I'll be so stoked when I see your gold-standard q in the next census, Liz! Here's hoping it gets through🤞

I learnt so much from jane (she/her)'s preso on unbuzzwordifying intersectionality. Jane summarised key ways its used incorrectly & I came away aiming to learn more and do better in my own research! Biggest learning: It's not about demographic traits. Instead about systemic traits.

Incredible to see this timeline summary of place-based experimentation in Aus from Tim Reddel. While the term is a buzzword now - it has long roots.

Food is not the solution to food insecurity - Sabine Baker presented results from a review of policy responses to food insecurity. We must address the root causes rather than solely relying on bandaid solutions of food banks.

We heard about the exciting US-based Baby's First Years study from Prof Sharon Goldfeld and then about her new project - the Child and Family eHub - to better connect children and families with mental health support.
