Full textAbstract:
This article explores the way two Melbourne daily newspapers reported the fatal police shooting of Graeme Jensen on 11 October 1988. In particular, the article examines how the newspapers dealt with reporting police suspicions about Graeme Jensen's involvement in criminal activities and the immediate circumstances of the shooting. It argues that information passed to the press by police was designed to present the shooting as the lawful and necessary killing of a dangerous criminal and thus maintain a positive police image. The newspapers assisted this process by uncritically reporting the police version of events and allegations about Graeme Jensen's involvement in crimes even when such information was contradicted by available evidence.

Full textAbstract:
International data and data from a major household travel survey undertaken in Melbourne, Victoria—the Victorian Activity Travel Survey (VATS)—are used to address the following questions: ( a) to what extent can older people meet their own transportation needs when they cannot drive, and ( b) what special safety concerns are raised now and in the future by the growing number of older drivers. VATS data show that Australian travel patterns parallel those observed in other developed countries: older people are increasingly more reliant on the car. The number of trips that will be lost when they must give up or reduce driving is substantial. Policy makers must start now to understand the dimension of the problem and the ways in which it can be addressed.

"'This is uncharted water for all of us': challenges anticipated by hospital clinicians when voluntary assisted dying becomes legal in Victoria." Australian Health Review 44, no. 3 (2020): 399. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/ah19108.
Full textAbstract:
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to identify the challenges anticipated by clinical staff in two Melbourne health services in relation to the legalisation of voluntary assisted dying in Victoria, Australia. MethodsA qualitative approach was used to investigate perceived challenges for clinicians. Data were collected after the law had passed but before the start date for voluntary assisted dying in Victoria. This work is part of a larger mixed-methods anonymous online survey about Victorian clinicians’ views on voluntary assisted dying. Five open-ended questions were included in order to gather text data from a large number of clinicians in diverse roles. Participants included medical, nursing and allied health staff from two services, one a metropolitan tertiary referral health service (Service 1) and the other a major metropolitan health service (Service 2). The data were analysed thematically using qualitative description. ResultsIn all, 1086 staff provided responses to one or more qualitative questions: 774 from Service 1 and 312 from Service 2. Clinicians anticipated a range of challenges, which included burdens for staff, such as emotional toll, workload and increased conflict with colleagues, patients and families. Challenges regarding organisational culture, the logistics of delivering voluntary assisted dying under the specific Victorian law and how voluntary assisted dying would fit within the hospital’s overall work were also raised. ConclusionsThe legalisation of voluntary assisted dying is anticipated to create a range of challenges for all types of clinicians in the hospital setting. Clinicians identified challenges both at the individual and system levels. What is known about the topic?Voluntary assisted dying became legal in Victoria on 19 June 2019 under the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2017. However there has been little Victorian data to inform implementation. What does this paper add?Victorian hospital clinicians anticipate challenges at the individual and system levels, and across all clinical disciplines. These challenges include increased conflict, emotional burden and workload. Clinicians report concerns about organisational culture, the logistics of delivering voluntary assisted dying under the specific Victorian law and effects on hospitals’ overall work. What are the implications for practitioners?Careful attention to the breadth of staff affected, alongside appropriate resourcing, will be needed to support clinicians in the context of this legislative change.

Asia Pacific Journal of Health Management 11, no. 1 (March 16, 2016): 56–64. http://dx.doi.org/10.24083/apjhm.v11i1.245.
Full textAbstract:
Clinical Registries are established to provide a clinically credible means for monitoring and benchmarking healthcare processes and outcomes, to identify areas for improvement, and drive strategies for improving patient care. Clinical Registries are used to assess changes in clinical practice, appropriateness of care and health outcomes over time. The American Heart Association Policy Statement in April 2011 called for expanding the application for existing and future Clinical Registries, with well-designed Clinical Registry programs. Concurrently, in Australia, and similarly within the United States and United Kingdom, there has been an increased focus on performance measurement for quality and patient safety. Within Victoria, the Victorian Clinical Governance Policy Framework outlines clinical effectiveness as one of the four domains of Clinical Governance
As Clinical Registries evaluate effectiveness and safety of patient care by measuring patient outcomes compared with peers, the use of Clinical Registries data to improve a health service’s quality of care seems intuitive. A mixed methods approach was utilised, involving (1) semi-structured interviews and (2) documentation audit in this study conducted at Austin Health, a major tertiary teaching hospital in North-Eastern metropolitan Melbourne, affiliated with the University of Melbourne and various research institutes within Austin LifeSciences.
Although many studies have highlighted the benefits of data collected via individual Clinical Registries, [5,6] the level of voluntary medical staff participation in Clinical Registries at a health service level is yet to be established. The aim of this study was to document the level of medical staff involvement for Clinical Registries within a major tertiary teaching hospital, and the level of reporting into Quality Committees within the organisation.
This study demonstrates that along with a very high level of medical staff participation in Clinical Registries, there is a lack of systematic reporting of Registries data into quality committees beyond unit level, and utilisation of such data to reflect upon practice and drive quality improvement.

Full textAbstract:
In 1993 the Victorian Government introduced casemix funding as part of itsrestructure of the public hospital system. Casemix funding provides a new basis forgovernment funding according to outcomes. At the same time, restructure of hospitalsallows for a reconsideration of who is eligible to use them. Historical research intothe growth of the public hospital system in Melbourne shows that attempts to reformthe hospital system are as old as the system itself. This paper argues that the views ofhospitals in funding crises and the solutions that are recommended have more to dowith the politics of the day than the economics of running hospitals.

Full textAbstract:
Policy-makers have always found it problematic to formulate fair and consistentcounting rules for public hospital outpatient activities. In the context of output-based funding, such rules have consequences which can affect patient care. This paper reviews the rationale for organising multidisciplinary clinics and reports on a series of focus groups convened in four Melbourne teaching hospitals to consider funding policy for such clinics. It discusses issues of targeting outpatient services, along with implications for payment policy. It evaluates counting rules in terms of intended andunintended consequences in the context of Victoria?s introduction of output-basedfunding for outpatient services.

Full textAbstract:
Anabolic steroid injectors are at risk of infection with blood-borne viruses (BBVs), but have received little attention from researchers, practitioners or agencies working in public health. In recognition of this gap, in early 1996 the Steroid Peer Education Project (SPEP) began providing part-time mobile needle and syringe distribution and health information and referral services to steroid injectors in north-eastern Melbourne. Demand repeatedly caused the project to expand, and its sole peer worker now operates Victoria-wide, five days per week. Basic information on injecting practices collected from SPEP clients showed that many were at risk of BBV infection. This led to the initiation of a collaborative research project, in which SPEP clients were tested for BBV antibodies and provided detailed information about their risk behaviours. Of 29 steroid injectors tested between May and August 1999, three (10%) had antibodies to the hepatitis C virus, and they described behaviour which could spread the virus to other steroid users. These results show that blood-borne viruses are present in the Victorian steroid injecting community, and reinforce the SPEP's commitment to reducing harm in this group.

Full textAbstract:
Melbourne has been described as Australia’s most liveable and most multicultural city. What relation do these descriptions have to each other? How has the public culture of Victoria been influenced by the cultural diversity of the state? The political class in Victoria has tended to be more in favour of multiculturalism as a policy, more resistant to populist racism and more positive about immigration than elsewhere in Australia. How has this orientation been affected by the institutional embedding of ethnic power during the past four decades? The organization of ethnic groups into political lobbies, which have collaborated across ethnic borders, has brought about cultural transformations in the “mainstream”. Often the public experiences these transformations through changing uses of public spaces. This paper offers an historical sociology of this process, and argues for a view of public space as a physical representation of the relative power of social forces. It is based on research for the Making Multicultural Australia (Victoria) project. (http://multiculturalaustralia.edu.au).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines economic growth and change across the city of Melbourne over the 2000s. In the late 1970s to early 1980s, and again in the early 1990s, Melbourne was seen as having a bleak future, as a consequence of the deindustrialisation occurring in the city throughout the late twentieth century. However, Melbourne grew rapidly at the start of the twenty-first century, renewing its profile globally and attracting population.
This thesis examines the factors behind the rise of Greater Melbourne over the 2000s, and specifically the rapid revival of the central city area of Melbourne. The study assesses the relevance of economic geography theories (the Global Cities hypothesis, the World City Network (WCN) and agglomeration economies) in relation to Melbourne’s economic growth. Globalisation related theories concerning knowledge cities and workers are also considered.

Full textAbstract:
Suburban centres policies in Greater Vancouver, metropolitan Melbourne, and
Bellevue, Washington are examined to derive general lessons toward the
improvement of this type of policy. It is found that two attempts to pursue the
development of a regional system of suburban centres have been unsuccessful,
while a municipally-based policy has achieved some success in terms of the
physical design of a suburban downtown. Patterns of private sector development
are found to have been very little affected by any of the case study policies.
Further, several assumptions concerning the linkages between public transit and
land use in suburban centres are found to require further careful examination
before they should be used as a basis for future policy development.

Glanville, Louise. "Women going places : women and transport in a competitive environment." Thesis, 1996. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/17935/.
Full textAbstract:
The place of women in transport planning and development has been marginal if not
invisible. This has resulted in a lack of recognition of their needs and of the distributional
impacts that current transport policy and directions have on women. It has also led to limited
attention being paid to women and women's experiences in their use of both cars and public
transport: their travel patterns and mobility issues remain largely unexplored. In addition,
the current policy environment of privatisation and competition in the transport arena
contributes to the exacerbation of women's disadvantaged status, and does little to
encourage gender sensitivity in transport policies and practice.
The thesis explores these issues with particular reference to the travel experiences of fifteen
different w o m e n living in various parts of Melbourne and Victoria. It also uses material
collected from a number of transport policy makers and service providers to ascertain the
dimensions of the new competitive environment.

Totikidis, Vicky. "Community centred health promotion and prevention in an Australian context." Thesis, 2013. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/24386/.
Full textAbstract:
Chronic diseases have increased dramatically in Australia and around the world over the
past decade, causing pain, suffering, disability, psychosocial problems, early mortality
and economic and public health crisis. However, many chronic diseases and conditions
could be prevented with better evidence based and community based health promotion
strategies. Guided by a philosophy of idealism, the aim of this thesis was to develop a
community centred health promotion strategy to assist the improvement of health and
the prevention of chronic disease in an Australian context. More specifically, the
research was concerned with exploring the potentiality of statistical or epidemiological
evidence and community collaboration as pathways to chronic disease prevention and
improvement of health at an individual, community and system level. The research
utilised a praxis paradigm and action research design over three stages. Stage One
included in depth quantitative analysis of health and epidemiological data and addressed
the question: What is the current evidence/knowledge about health status, determinants
and inequalities in Victorian communities and the broader Victorian and Australian
context? Stage Two involved qualitative participatory action research methods to
engage a small group of community members from the Brimbank region of Melbourne
(Victoria, Australia) in the community governance of health promotion and disease
prevention. The questions addressed were: What are the benefits of community based
health promotion and prevention? What ideas for health promotion action does the
community have to offer? Stage Three involved a minor evaluation of the strategy as a
whole and addressed the question: In what ways, can health evidence and community
involvement in health promotion contribute to better health outcomes? Stage One
identified various determinants that impact on health status and result in inequalities.
Stage Two revealed six major benefits for community based health promotion and
prevention and generated a number of useful ideas for health promotion action in the
community. Stage Three showed positive evaluations by the participants and identified
numerous indicators of success of the health promotion strategy as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
This book charts the history of the water catchments and water supply for the city of Melbourne, which has many unique aspects that are a critical part of the history of Melbourne, Victoria and Australia. Much of the development of the water supply system was many decades ahead of its time and helped buffer the city of Melbourne from major diseases, droughts and water shortages.
The authors present a chronology of the evolution of the catchment and water supply system pre-1900 to today. They discuss major developments, policies, and construction and management activities. Each chapter is illustrated with historical black and white images as well as newly taken photos that contrast present scenes with those from the past. Chapters also include many fascinating stories of life within the water catchments and working for the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works.
Finally, the book includes many extraordinary insights into current and future issues with Melbourne’s water supply, including issues associated with the highly controversial North-South Pipeline and the desalination plant.
