SUMMARY:Northern Territory Webinar: Everybody’s Home
DESCRIPTION:Residents of the Northern Territory experience the highest rates of homelessness in the nation. Housing disadvantage is inextricably linked to poverty\, with adverse implications for educational\, health and employment outcomes. \nHosted by NT Council of Social Service and NT Shelter for Anti-Poverty Week 2020.   Peter McMillan\, NT Shelter Executive Officer\, will highlight the importance of the Everybody’s Home campaign and its relevance in the context of the Northern Territory’s unique housing challenges. He will draw the connection between the ongoing existence and impacts of poverty in the Northern Territory and the lack of social and affordable housing\, and outline why it makes both social and economic sense to build more housing now. Peter will also set-out a path for how the Northern Territory can ensure all residents have access to safe\, secure and affordable housing while supporting the building and construction sector to get the job done. \nBefore the event you will be sent the zoom login details to your registered email address. \nWe will be taking questions during the webinar via the chat box but if you already have a specific question in mind please forward to admin@ntcoss.org.au and we will aim to have it answered for you. \nThe event begins at 2:00pm (ACST) or 3:30pm (AEDT).

SUMMARY:Home is Where the Heart is: The Link Between Poverty\, Housing\, and Health
DESCRIPTION:The facts\nSecure and affordable housing is critical to overcoming many of the economic\, social and chronic disease challenges facing rural and remote Australians\, particularly chronic diseases closely related to housing such as rheumatic heart disease. \nPeople in rural and remote Australia have lower incomes\, lower net household worth\, higher instances of risk factors for poor health\, higher levels of chronic disease\, accidents and injury\, and reduced life expectancy. \nA key challenge for people living in poverty is access to appropriate\, secure and affordable housing. Living in inappropriate\, poor and insecure housing leads to many adverse health outcomes related to stress\, poor nutrition\, accidents\, falls and communicable diseases. As a recent Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute report notes\, the private housing market fails to decently and affordably accommodate people on low incomes or facing other forms of disadvantage. \nTwo-thirds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians live outside major cities. A critical factor in improving health outcomes for Indigenous Australians is the provision and maintenance of appropriate housing. For example\, crowded housing can contribute to the increased burden of disease in children including Otitis media – which can result in permanent hearing loss – and Strep A infection\, which can lead to rheumatic fever and the devastating effects of rheumatic heart disease. \nWho should attend?\nThe webinar is open to anyone\, but particularly those interested in the critical role secure housing plays in the health\, and economic and social wellbeing\, of low-income Australians; the importance of appropriate housing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians; the effect of the current recession on people in economic hardship\, particularly in rural Australia; and how to overcome the devastating effects of rheumatic heart disease on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. \nPanellists\nDr Richard Denniss: Chief Economist\, The Australia Institute; Prof Fran Baum Director\, Southgate Institute for Health\, Society and Equity; Dr Katharine Noonan: Head of Strategy\, END RHD\, Telethon Kids Institute and Michael Klerck\,Tangentyere Council Aboriginal Corporation. \nFacilitator\nDr Gabrielle O’Kane: Chief Executive Officer\, National Rural Health Alliance
