In September, the S&P 500 remained resilient, increasing by 2.0% despite being 4.0% lower early in the month. Locally, the Australian share market increased by 3.1%. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve cut the cash rate to a range of 4.75% - 5.0%, the first cut in four years. The European Central Bank lowered rates to 3.5% as inflation cooled. The Bank of England kept rates at 5.0%, following a 0.25% cut at its August meeting. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) held the rates steady at 4.35%, reiterating that it is unlikely there will be any rates cuts in Australia before 2025.

In the face of unique challenges, rural leaders play a vital role in driving positive change within their communities.   The Australian Rural Leadership Program is designed to empower these leaders by providing essential skills, resources, and support. We recently sponsored Dean Sutton, the Manager of Connected Communities at Baw Baw Shire, Gippsland to complete the program. Through his work and volunteering roles, Dean is focused on enhancing community health and wellbeing, and helping vulnerable groups.   By investing in rural leadership, we are not only supporting individuals but also the prosperity of entire regions. Thank you to Dean, and all of our regional leaders who are making a difference every day!   Read about his journey at https://lnkd.in/eQxEyaX6 Australian Rural Leadership Foundation #SuperWithHeart #RuralLeadership #CommunityDevelopment #Empowerment

Over the weekend, my Prime Super colleague Kirsten Braham and I had the pleasure of attending the 2024 Allied Health Awards on the Gold Coast. These awards highlight and recognise the vital contributions that so many individuals are making within Allied Health across the country. It was an absolute privilege to witness such an inspirational group of humans come together to celebrate each other’s successes. During the evening, Associate Professor Libby Callaway shared a wonderful quote from Gandhi: “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Dr. Aaron Frost also offered a powerful reminder: “When good people with good intentions come together, the ripples of impact are phenomenal.” Quotes such as these perfectly captured the essence of the event and the collective spirit of those who attended. As well as celebrating individual achievements, the evening also highlighted the powerful impact that comes from collaboration and showcased the resilience of a passionate community who are “committed to seeking answers to life’s most wicked problems” (another quote from Libby Callaway). Well done to all of the incredible Allied Health professionals who were nominated for an award, and a huge congratulations to the very worthy winners. To any Allied Health professionals reading this - thank you for the amazing work you do in your service of others. Finally, a huge and well deserved shout out to the amazing Sarena Jones and her team for organising such an uplifting celebration. It was so good! I loved catching up with my good friends Nichole Fitzgerald - MRCSA and Terry Fitzgerald from the event Gold Partner Aussie Locums, and I thoroughly enjoyed connecting with so many new faces on both Friday and Saturday nights. Here's to continuing these great conversations and collaborations! #alliedhealth #aha24 #alliedhealthawards #loveyourwork

Employee mental health and wellbeing is essential in fostering a healthy company culture.    According to the SuperFriend Decade of Data report, while more has been done to raise mental health awareness within workplaces, psychological injury claims continue to rise. This indicates a need for all employers to deepen their understanding of the complexities of mental health, to create work environments where everyone can thrive. Offering Employee Assistance Program's is only the beginning.   Download the SuperFriend Decade of Data at https://lnkd.in/gdQSEMQS   #decadeofdata #workplacementalhealth

The National Farmers' Federation 2030 roadmap is paving the way for diversity in agriculture. For several years Prime Super has supported the Diversity in Agricultural Leadership Program - a wonderful initiative that creates opportunities for women to excel in the sector.   This year we are sponsoring Meredith King, Agricultural Sustainable Sourcing Manager at McDonalds. Over five months, Meredith is mentored by our board member Allison Harker, who brings a wealth of experience to the program.   We’re excited to be a part of Meredith’s journey as she achieves her leadership goals. #agriculture #nff #superwithheart
