“Food prescriptions” give low-income patients prepaid debit cards for fresh fruit and vegetables
According to the World Health Organisation, 80% of deaths from chronic diseases are impacted by poor diet. Sadly, affordability continues to be a key barrier to accessing healthy fruit and vegetables across the globe as the cost of living escalates.“Food prescription” programs address this by giving financially disadvantaged healthcare patients debit card-based aid to buy healthy food from everyday shopping outlets. The idea is at the centre of initiatives across the US and the UK, and its efficacy is backed up by research from The George Institute for Global Health and UNSW, Sydney.https://www.wundermanthompson.com/insight/food-as-medicine

Better Whistleblowing Protections
Australia has led the world with protections for public interest whistleblowing. From the early 1990s Australia was the first country after the United States to enact comprehensive public sector whistleblowing laws. In 2019,Australia's private sector laws were the first to give whistleblowers rights to compensation if companies fail in their duty to protect them. However, overall, Australia’s whistleblower protection laws are now falling behind. The 5-year statutory review of the Corporations Act whistleblower protection provisions (Part 9.4AAA) is due in 2024. Given recent issues with PwC these provisions should be strengthened and extended to partnerships. https://transparency.org.au/accountable-government/whistleblowing/
