30 years of Australian Rotary Health
Australian Rotary Health will commemorate 30 years of service this August,
celebrating three decades of providing funding for medical research
and scholarships for healthcare professionals.
Pushed into action by the mystery surrounding sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS),
Ian Scott addressed the Rotary Club of Mornington on June 17, 1981,
highlighting the need to fund more medical research in order
to shed light on the mystery of the syndrome.
After 30 years, Ian Scott’s dream of funding research is still alive
with Australian Rotary Health raising close to $27 million for medical research since its origin,
$10 million of which contributing to advances in mental health,
the main focus of Australian Rotary Health since 2000.
The effect Australian Rotary Health has had on mental illness in particular
is evident through the success of their researchers in their long term careers,
and the relevance of their funded studies to the wider community.
Dr. Felice Jacka, who received an Ian Scott Scholarship between the years 2005-2008
for her PhD on ‘the relationship between mood and anxiety disorders and nutrition’
has since gone on to discover a definite link between foods
common in ‘western ‘society and disorders such as anxiety and depression.
These important findings were published in the acclaimed American journal
‘“The Year in Psychosis and Bipolar Disorder: The Most Important Studies of 2010”.
Australian Rotary Health’s focus on mental illness has also fostered
a greater understanding of mental illness within the community
and the effect of the ever growing media on those with mental illness.
A. Australian Rotary Health funded study by Professor Jane Pirkis entitled
‘“Media Reporting of Suicide” found a high amount of media coverage
on suicide can actually increase the prevalence of suicide in the community.
As the world moves well into the 21st Century,
Australian Rotary Health has looked toward projects that utilise technology
for the good of those in need and find avenues of treatment in a digital setting.
Professor Susan Paxton’s study
‘“On-line Therapy for Disordered Eating and Body Dissatisfaction’
found that the anonymity of the internet allowed those with body dissatisfaction
to openly discuss their issues after which their level
of dissatisfaction was noticeably reduced.
Similarly, Associate Professor Britt Klein’s study entitled
‘e-Therapy for Anxiety Disorders’ provided free, anonymous,
effective online treatment for all anxiety patients.
Though a fantastic achievement, Australian Rotary Health is very aware
that the research being funded now is merely scratching
the surface of what is waiting to be discovered.
“Research is needed to build a better understanding
of how these illnesses occur but, unfortunately, a lack of finance sees
only 20% of research grants for mental illness get funded.”
Says Joy Gillett OAM , CEO of Australian Rotary Health.
With the ongoing support of Rotary Clubs and the wider community,
Australian Rotary Health aims to continue supporting healthier minds and bodies
and work towards improving the health and lives of those least able to assist themselves.
The 30th anniversary will be marked by Australian Rotary Health
and their friends in a celebratory dinner dance to be held
at the Moonee Valley racecourse, Victoria on August 13th, 2011.

For every woman with a curve there are several men with angles.
It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.

Always hold your head up, but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level.
We child-proofed our home three years ago and they’re still getting in!
Whoever coined the phrase “Quiet as a mouse” has never stepped on one.
I wonder who coined the term, “coined the term.”
Shouldn’t the cosmic stupidity hopper be empty by now?
Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.
A foolproof method for sculpting an elephant:
first, get a huge block of marble,
then you chip away everything that doesn’t look like an elephant.

One guy asked the skydiving instructor,
"If our chute doesn't open, and the reserve doesn't open,
how long do we have until we hit the ground?"
Our jump master looked at him and in perfect deadpan and answered,
"The rest of your life."
What I didn't know was how I would get all of what I wanted in just six hours. While the effects of antenna polarization may be interpreted as a reduction in the quality of some radio links, some radio designers often make use of this property to tune an antenna to their needs by restricting transmission or reception to signals on a limited number of vectors. This not only allows listeners to listen to their favorite MP3 files along with their SIRIUS radio; it also lets them digitally record their favorite radio songs for instant playback.

I have the issue solved on publishing the tags.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I obtained a leading margin on page
one that was non-standard (smaller sized) compared to the various other
pages. This was tossing every label off. I could not discover a
means of erasing the first web page only, so
I reduced and pasted each address into a brand-new label
file. The result was excellent and the leading frame on every one of the pages were fine.
