Live Issues

Health

Centroc calls on the Federal Government to provide full funding for the Charles Sturt University Medical School. For more advice on the Centroc position go to a recent media release.

Centroc members believe they should not be in the role of health provision and yet as members communities call for this type of support, so Centroc member Councils are building medical centres and working on attracting and retaining health work-force.

Centroc members are interested in developing flexible workforce options tailored to the needs of this region where Centroc's audit of the region suggests that what is in place to date needs to change.

Regarding attracting and retaining the health workforce, Centroc is developing a website and other tools to facilitate this. The brand for the concept is ‘Beyond the Range’ and looks to welcome health workforce to work, life and a rural experience in Central NSW beyond the range of what they are currently experiencing in metropolitan areas. This project has been funded 50% by the NSW Department of Industry and Investment.

Stage 1 of the project is completed and received a good response from the Board.

Stage 2 which implements the project is now underway and seeking funding and sponsorship.

Atmospheric CO2 data

 

Did you know that atmospheric CO2 was 364 parts per million (ppm) during the Earth Summit in June 1992? In the past decade, atmospheric CO2 has been rising about 1.9 ppm per year. This is the fastest rate since scientists started using high-precision instruments to take CO2 measurements directly from the Earth's atmosphere.
