    The Prescription We're Not Writing: Social Prescribing and Australia's Missed Budget Opportunity

    "The evidence is no longer the problem. The problem is political will." The central message in this solo episode is clear: Australia now has a government-commissioned national feasibility study showing that social prescribing is evidence-based, internationally validated, economically sensible, and aligned with the real world social drivers of health, yet the 2026-27 Australian Federal Budget appears to have ignored it entirely. • Social prescribing explained • Link workers as the bridge between general practice and community support • Feasibility study findings on loneliness, and social isolation • International evidence from the UK and Canada • The economic case and social return on investment figures • What a National Centre for Social Prescribing would do • Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services as longstanding leaders in integrated care  • What the 2026–27 federal budget funds and what it ignores on social prescribing  • RACGP public support versus the absence of social prescribing in its budget response  • Where social prescribing is already happening in Australia and why it remains siloed  • Practical ways clinicians, community groups, policymakers and listeners can push change  Link to the Social Prescribing in the Australian Context: A National Feasibility Study REPORT November 2025 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/67379edcb04b274d1635e728/t/693f2d5781500017dba9a768/1765748055342/social-prescribing-in-the-australian-context.pdf Link to the RACGP Social Prescribing Day Statement:  https://www.racgp.org.au/gp-news/media-releases/2026-media-releases/march-2026/social-prescribing-day-racgp-calls-for-community-c Link to the RACGP Overview of the Federal Budget 2026-27 (Health) 13 May 2026 https://www.racgp.org.au/getmedia/cf57e3b9-2d6c-4347-981c-b78e97cb29fb/RACGP-2026-27-Budget-Response-Detailed-Analysis-Response.pdf.aspx To learn more about Social Prescribing in Australia vistit ASPIRE: Australian Social Prescribing Institute of Research and Education.  https://www.creatingopportunitiestogether.com.au/ Thank you for listening, If you enjoyed the episode, please share and subscribe.  Website: www.thelaughterclinic.com.au Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thelaughterclinicAus "If you or someone you know needs support, please contact one of these Australian mental health services.
