Picking up from our last episode, Elana will take you through what is essentially the other half of the cost of living crisis - health, and access to healthcare. The growing inequality in Australia is exacerbated by the increasingly difficult access to quality healthcare that the electorate is experiencing. Poor physical, mental and dental health has profound impacts on people’s economic security and ability to live productive and fulfilling lives. So let’s explore the suite of policies that the Australian Democrats have developed to address these increasingly urgent issues facing Australia.
Content warning: several of the policies in this episode reference suicide, anxiety, depression, and violence. Listener discretion advised. You can contact LIfeline on 13 11 14.
