We welcome the establishment of Australia's first nationwide inquiry into youth justice and incarceration. This is a long overdue demonstration of national leadership on an issue of utmost importance, the health and wellbeing impacts caused by placing young people into custody. We urge the committee to consider justice diversion and reinvestment, and community-led support programs, as a pragmatic way forward, for empathetic and effective systemic change, that is focussed on the long-term health and wellbeing of children. The inquiry will investigate the outcomes and impacts of child incarceration across Australia, the over-incarceration of First Nations children, and the systems' treatment of the human rights of children in detention. https://lnkd.in/gDNbDahH

AMA CDT Chair Dr Sanjay Hettige has provided an update from the latest CDT trainee forum: https://lnkd.in/gzhv2nqS
Radiology Registrar at NSW Health | AMA Council of Doctors in Training Chair | AMA Doctor in Training of the Year 2022
Australian Medical Association Council of Doctors in Training hosted its second trainee forum of the year last week bringing together Trainee Chairs from the Medical Colleges to discuss examination and assessment feedback. Poor examination feedback is a persistent bugbear for trainees with only 38% of trainees saying they received useful examination feedback in the 2023 Medical Training Survey. We had a insightful discussion on how Colleges are responding to these MTS results as well as a broader discussion on how Colleges could learn from each other to improve assessment and examination processes across the board. Looking forward to continuing to work towards better outcomes for trainees with these passionate advocates! 😊

Today in The Canberra Times I make a plea to our Government to act on the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide If Australia is to retain its soldiers, sailors and aviators at a time of global uncertainty then we must value and support them while they serve and in the years afterwards. Too many lives have been lost. Nick Kaldas A.P.M., D.Litt (honoris causa) Peggy Brown Richard Marles Matt Keogh Andrew Hastie MP Barnaby Joyce
