Useful Fact

GEN is a comprehensive “one-stop-shop” for data and information about aged care services in Australia. It reports on capacity and activity in the aged care system focusing on the people, their care assessments and the services they use.

GEN is designed to cater for all levels of users, from students looking for information for assignments, right through to data modelers and actuaries. The data and information is presented at different levels. Each section begins with an overview and fast facts of the topic and is followed with greater detail and the option of interacting with the data.

The data that underpins each topic is available for further analysis and additional data, not necessarily displayed in a topic, is available in the Analyse section. If there is a need for data which isn’t available on GEN, it is possible to request the data.

Campaign & Events

The Youth Educating Peers (YEP) Project aims to support and educate young people on relationships, sexual health and blood-borne viruses (SHBBV). They do this by working in partnership with the WA youth sector and building the capacity of youth workers.

A key focus is on the use of peer education as a youth participation and health promotion strategy with our group of paid peer educators, the YEP Crew. One of their resources is about barrier methods. Condoms, dams and gloves are only effective when used properly – and believe it or not there is a right and a wrong way to use them.

Who are?

The Water Well Project is an award-winning charity that improves the health and wellbeing of communities from migrant, refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds by improving their health literacy.

Our core activity is the provision of free, interactive, community-based, health education sessions delivered by volunteer healthcare professionals across Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales.

The Water Well Project utilises a community-centric model by working closely with refugee and migrant support organisations. Sessions are delivered upon requests from community groups and co-designed alongside community partners. This means that sessions are tailored to the needs of each community group and delivered in a culturally safe manner. 

They provide a range of free digital and telehealth support services to bridge the gaps in mental health and support recovery including our peer support, counselling, community forums, peer-led groups, art and social groups and information resources.

On the Blog 

In the realm of dating

Where swipes and likes are abundant, the search for genuine connection can feel like a vast sea (or maybe a space vacuum) of expectation and fleeting potential. It has become increasingly clear we need to switch up the game and refine our skills in deciphering our wants and desires, and investing our time, energy and emotions into fostering meaningful connections and nurturing these relationships.  

Enter the vibe check

A dynamic tool for any savvy dater. How can the vibe check elevate your dating game? How can it help you navigate these murky waters with finesse and confidence? How can you find a match? 

Unsure? Don’t worry, we’ve got you - just keep reading. Read the whole blog.

Bereavement is the experience of grief and mourning following a death. As the bereaved, it can feel like time is standing still, like you are stuck in memories of the one that’s passed away, rather than looking to a future without them.

For some of us, our grief might not lessen, even after time passes, and it can significantly disrupt our daily functioning, affecting jobs, relationships and how we interact in the community.

The Griefline Integrating Grief Program is aimed at helping individuals struggling with their grief. The program helps people come to terms with the loss, restoring a sense of purpose to their life.

Griefline’s Integrating Grief Program is a free counselling and support service developed by Griefline and funded by the NSW Government to provide enhanced bereavement care for the people of NSW.
