This is the reality of the climate crisis… How sad that climate change is a reason for many women hesitating to have children. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

I’m shocked to read this. This affordable housing agreement has created second class citizens who can’t enter the building via the main entrance. Shame on the developers and NSW Government for allowing this to happen. #AusPol #AffordableHousing

No hurry. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Joyless. My @smh @theage cartoon.

I’m supervising a PhD student researching the health impacts from heat islands and can confidently say the research is pretty robust that heat deaths are a thing! They will/are increasing with climate change. We need to be concerned about this.

Another great program covering critical topics in planetary heath and climate change. #HEAL2025 #ClimateActionNow

Amazing treatment. A great example of why health and medical research is needed.

It’s time for action on climate misinformation www.croakey.org/climate-misi... #AusPol #PublicHealth

In case you missed it. We have a new Disability Wellbeing Index. “The Index covers ten domains that together capture the breadth of wellbeing for people with disability: relationships, daily life, meaningful life, housing, health, learning, respect and dignity, safety, finances, and work.”

Excellent critique of the National (Climate)Adaptation Plan. “While the NCRA reads like a well-informed, science-backed document, the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) reads like a wet-blanket.” Couldn’t agree more!! #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction

Here's a great preview of an important and timely upcoming conference – #ClimateHealthSummit25 – by @mariemcinerney.bsky.social www.croakey.org/federal-gove...

Introducing some young leaders for climate health – Croakey Health Media www.croakey.org/introducing-...

Professor @bronfredericks.bsky.social urges colleagues in #publichealth to "put the public back into public health" and to stand with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. www.croakey.org/haunting-wor...

"Without action on social causes, no amount of money poured into mental health services will ever be enough." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09... #SDOH #AusPol

“While outright climate denial is now rare in Australia, it's been replaced by rhetoric that seeks to downplay the impacts of climate change, slow the transition away from fossil fuels and spread doubt over renewables technology.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Had a v interesting chat with the creator of this petition last weekend about fast fashion, emissions, sustainability and embracing the circular economy. Read it and sign! chng.it/27znRcLGLR

Unbelievable incompetence at UTS. I can’t believe it just keeps getting worse. Congrats to the Business School who did their own analysis and called them on their bullshit. How is no one being held accountable for this cascade of poor decision making and general incompetence?

The NDIS Appeals Database, a project led by University of Queensland Law School students through its Pro Bono Centre, is now available for lawyers appealing decisions for people who have sought service or support through the NDIS www.qlsproctor.com.au/2025/09/new-...

I laughed out loud at this one. Funny but not funny.

Amazing!!

This article is a reminder of how important it is to notice the early warning signs and speak out against fascism. We can’t be complacent in Australia.

"We already struggle… to feel like we belong and like we have value. This is the last thing the autistic community needs to be dealing with" As an ADHDer I’m in solidarity with the autistic community. This ideologically driven “finding” by non-experts in the Trump administration is very dangerous

Good news… Let’s hope there’s more philanthropy from those who can afford it. #PublicHealth

More top #highered reporting ⁦‪from Julie Hare AFR. www.afr.com/policy/healt...

Who needs some good news? The Australian state of Victoria made a record investment into wellbeing, mental health and “respectful relationship” support for kids at state schools. An impact survey of 380,000 of these young people has revealed they now feel safer, more secure and more resilient.

Well this is exciting! The World Conference on Health Promotion will be held in Naarm/Melbourne in 2028. International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) expects 1,500 delegates www.premier.vic.gov.au/health-promo... @croakeynews.bsky.social

Solidarity with ANU staff 💪

In case you haven’t seen this show yet. It’s all the good things about great TV…

Amazing talent with true words!

This is happening to my friends and colleagues at UTS. I’m shocked by the decision to abolish the School of Public Health at a time when we need public health education and research more than ever. The effects of these cuts are wide reaching. Please contact the VC to revoke this decision.

Warning of climate breakdown and soaring heat deaths a ‘wake up call’ for Australia, PM says www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sadly these findings aren’t surprising. As a climate change and health researcher I expected this. WTF will it take for government to take this seriously? Action on climate change is still urgent. The more we delay the greater the risk to people and the planet. #ClimateActionNow #PlanetaryHealth
