Currently the best available guidance on when & how to check ear health in 0-5 year old Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander children in primary health. Can’t stop here: new evidence can take 10-20 years to become routine practice. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.569… #earhealthforlife

@LynoreGeia Yes! So important for primary care including Aboriginal Health Workers & Practitioners to have reliable tools that can help them identify young kids needing ENT referral fast - and reassure parents when ear trouble looks (so far) short-term.

@SamHarkus Absolutely agree on primary care and prevention of early ear infections. Untreated otitis media can have profound and protracted sequale impacting life experiences and life outcomes from childhood to adulthood.

Great! Would ❤️ to see classroom amplification fully funded/maintained for younger classes. These systems boost the teacher’s voice, enough for kids to hear easily. 90% of young remote Aboriginal kids don’t hear well ⁦@AlboMP⁩ ⁦@JasonClareMP⁩ theguardian.com/australia-news…

A big result for tenants rights! We’re proud to have represented the people of Ltyentye Apurte in their fight for decent housing, and thankful for the leadership of Ms. Young and Mr. Conway, lead applicants who sadly passed away before yesterdays decision gratafund.org.au/santa_highcour…
