How to make psychosocial disability support fairer in Australia

Australia is failing more than 130,000 people with significant psychosocial disability – despite spending billions every year on the NDIS. This gap is fuelling a growing problem. People without adequate supports are more likely to experience homelessness, be hospitalized, or have their needs escalate, putting pressure on systems that are already under strain. In this podcast, Sam Bennett, Mia Jessurun, and Reilly Polaschek, discuss the latest Grattan report, Bridging the Gap: Meeting the needs of Australians with psychosocial disability. In the report, they outline a plan to build a fairer and more effective system of psychosocial supports.

How to fix hospital funding

Spending on Australia’s public hospitals has increased by an average of $3 billion every year in the past decade. Yet hospitals are still under strain. Ambulances are ramping outside emergency departments, waits for surgery are getting longer, and staff say they’re burning out. And demand will only grow as Australians gets older and sicker. There’s no doubt governments will have to spend more - but with ever more pressure on budgets, they’re going to need to be smarter about spending. On this podcast, health experts Peter Breadon and Elizabeth Baldwin discuss their new report, Smarter spending: Getting better care for every hospital dollar, and how to fix hospital funding in Australia.

Want to fix the housing crisis? Build up

Housing in Australia’s cities is among the least affordable in the world. For decades, we have not built enough housing where people most want to live. A lack of well-located homes is dividing families and communities, and robs younger Australians of economic opportunity. But there is a case for optimism – provided we change planning laws to increase housing density in our major cities. On our latest podcast, Grattan housing experts Brendan Coates, Joey Moloney, and Matthew Bowes discuss their report More homes, better cities: Letting more people live where they want.
