My grandmother is in aged care right now, and I've seen all the issues between the workers loosing her files and different GPs not being transparent with her medical file information. Its made me think about the transferring of patient medical information between doctors and nurses in aged care centres, it can't be transparent. Because workers are under so much strain, sometimes mistakes occur within the system such as not keeping a correct record of patient data. I know My Health Record exists, but I don't even know if thats a proper solution since its technology based and not many older people use tech. What are some other solutions to properly categorise medical data in aged care centres? Any thoughts?

Hi! My husband and I are quite tired of living in the city and want to leave Sydney. We've been to quite a few Aus towns over the years but would love to know individual experiences of others living in rural NSW. My husband is a retrieval nurse and I have mental health issues that are being made worst by living in an emotionally cold city. Anyways, we're thinking Kiama, Berry, orange. I love old architecture and old things so Berry stands out. My husband drives but I don't have an Aus license so a train connection would be ideal. thank you in advance if you reply this is! All opinions are helpful. Ps we have 3 dogs so that's a factor too haha

Hi all! Going for my Ls test in a few days, anyone know how long roughly it would take to complete? I just did the practice test and it had 45 questions in it, how many are in the actual test?

For 18 months, we’ve raised the alarm: unsafe staffing, burnout & a healthcare system on the edge. We were ignored. Now, we strike.

This action is backed by ASMOF (Australian Salaried Medical Officers’ Federation union), representing doctors across NSW fighting for the future of our healthcare system.

NSW Health Doctors have not struck like this in 40 years. Doctors don't want to strike but we've been pushed to the brink.

This is more than pay. It’s about patient safety, a failing system & a frontline workforce pushed beyond limits.

Without us, hospitals won’t function. Without change, lives are at risk.

The NSW government gambled on our silence — but we’ve had enough. We won’t be silenced. We won’t be ignored.

We are fighting for a healthcare system that works for patients, that protects both doctors & those we care for. We stand for every person who deserves quality healthcare, for every doctor who has given everything to this profession. This is our stand for a future that values us all.

Stand with us.

Hey, can any New Zealand new grad nurses reply with how much annual income they earn after tax? Just trying to gauge whether it’s worth it to move to Sydney or Brisbane for ‘better pay’ whilst taking into account rent etc. thanks heaps

Me and my girlfriend will be in Newcastle for two nights, at the beginning of May, to visit Seal Rocks, Port Stephens, Bouddi. We will arrive by train from Sydney, and then a friend of mine will lend us a car.

We are looking for some b&b/hostel for these two nights. What are the best neighborhood for finding and accomodation? Are there some areas that we should avoid?

Hey there I've been called for jury duty for a 20 week trial.

I have a 13 month old baby and will be the sole income earner once my partner finishes his contract at the end of this month. The time of the jury is a week before his contract ends. What should I do?

Say I just hopped on the train without tapping my opal card and the opal officers come up to me and ask me for my opal card or the card i tapped on. Do i actually have to give them a card or say I didn’t tap on, or can i just wait till the next stop then hop off, then wait for the next train to come and get back on. I’ve seen a lot of people say you can ignore them but just wanna confirm.

I need some real estate or law advice because I’m struggling to get the right information as the real estate agent won’t tell me squat. I currently have a lease just outside of the western Sydney area. I am the only person on the lease. About 6 months ago a friend of mine moved in with me. She sent her details to the real estate and they said all was fine. I am just now finding out the addendum was never signed so she is not listed on the lease, it is still just me on there. Which is fine apparently I’m not in trouble from the real estate. But I am now trying to evict her as she is being very problematic and abusive, but she refuses to leave. She has told me countless times that I cannot legally make her leave and that she has a right to be there, despite not even being on the lease. I have given her ample time to move out and have even sent her links to rentals in the area that allow pets and are relatively cheap. After her showing no effort to seek other accomodation, I gave her 14 days to move out or she is not welcome here. That 14 days is up tomorrow and she refuses to pack her things. She is currently staying with her parents as I threatened to call the cops on her for her abuse. I am wondering if I am able to move all of her belongings to the shed, or can I threaten to get rid of her things? Or is her property legally HERS regardless of it being in my rental? Can I get the police to escort her off of the property if she tries to stay, or do I need an AVO, etc? Really don’t know what I can/should do. TIA. Please help!!

Can I call or use the enquiry button to negotiate prices when an item is not within my pickup distance? Thanks all. Single mum just trying to buy a gift for her son...

I couldn’t find clear info on this, so here’s my experience in case it helps:

If you're a temporary visa holder trying to do your DKT online, you’ve probably noticed that the only accepted documents are things like an Australian passport, birth certificate, citizenship certificate, or IMMI card—basically stuff only citizens or PRs have.

Turns out, before you can take the DKT online, you need to visit Service NSW and fill out the Customer Number Application form to get a customer number. You can then use that number to do your DKT online.

Hope this helps someone in the same boat!

I’ve got my driving test in a few weeks, and I’m not sure if I’m supposed to signal left when reversing during a 3-point turn.

I’ve practiced with three different instructors and checked online, but the answers have been all over the place.

Public housing is inadequate. There's no meaningful plan to provide public housing and address homelessness. The wait list is beyond 10 years if not 20. Homeless are simply told there is no housing whilst millions is spent housing people in hotels. Meanwhile Minns aggressively threatens to bulldoze reclaimed vacant homes because squatters are protesting inadequate government responses to housing problems and homelessness.

Law enforcement and application of gendered violence laws is a tragic joke. Policing and judicial processes are as good as non existent and the DPP have been chastised by judiciary whilst police blame judiciary. Law reforms are not occurring whilst states have been put on notice that entire courts need to be dismantled as they're unsafe for kids navigating DV. Legal aid and community legal centres are operating on a show string and trying to push people away as they simply can't service the need/demand.

Public health is a shitshow. NSW health is top heavy like corporates and we're losing nurses to QLD. Doctors are striking. Psychiatrists have quit. Mental health care is ok in an emergency but people living in crisis have very few places to turn. Funding is diverted away from frontline services dispersed to ineffective supports, too many NGOs on state funding who aren't providing minimum standards of care.

These are just 3 areas that I'm too familiar with. I see talk of what's happening but it doesn't filter through. Many workers employed to perform roles but the roles are purely performative. There's simply no resourcing for meaningful supports, interventions or reforms.

Housing, law enforcement and health. They're the top 3. Why no systemic reforms? Why so aggressive about people unable to secure housing? Where's the compassion? Does NSW need to increase mining taxes to match QLDs investment into public services?

NSW government seems dysfunctional in so many ways and I know they want to do better but theres no meaningful path forward. The judiciary blocking doctors rights to protest insane working conditions? Our anti protest laws are ridiculous and we claim it's a police state but policing isn't touching what's really happening which is escalating gendered violence police refuse to investigate. Is Minns a dud? Where's the leadership toward better outcomes for people?

Hi yall! I'm in a uni group assignment and we are looking into the problems of "the accessibility and transfer of patient medical information" in Health Care Aged Care. What are your thoughts on this? Are there any other problems with NSW aged care that are important? Does anyone have any possible solutions to this? Or anything else anyone would like to see implemented?

i am currently in year 10, get average to high grades and my friends and I are wondering if the actual tests are easy, considering how vague the teachers are in relation with it. Is it actually easy or did you fail it the first time?

Hi, if anyone has any suggestions that are not well known, please do share.

G’day mates

For many years I’ve been interested in joining a shooting range but because of a couple of pesky ER admissions for self harm (last incident was 2 yrs ago) I believe that excludes me from getting a gun license (I assume they’ll be able to see this on any background checks).

I have also been interested in hunting, so my next thought was bow hunting. Would I be excluded from permission to own a bow or join a hunting club for the above reason?

I’ve looked at a couple of local hunting clubs (Newcastle region) and they don’t have much detail on membership requirements etc.

I don’t know anyone in real life who is involved in these hobbies, and I’m very shy about meeting new people so I thought maybe reddit would have some answers before I start joining clubs and making a fool of myself.

Is joining a hunting club the best way to get started? Should I go along and meet people and then get kitted out? Or should I just pick a completely different hobby? I’m in a much better place mentally and have already considered safeguards but understand if my poor choices exclude me from these hobbies.

Hi all, ive got a 2019 ranger raptor bone stock- I’m looking to change my rims from the stock ones to some monster delta satin black - the comparison between stock and new is in the Images and I cant find anywhere if these changes will make it illegal in nsw. The original LT285/70R17 KO2 tires will stay the same but I feel it might stick out past the gaurds which is illegal right. I just got my Ps and I’m new to all of this so sorry if this seems stupid

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but we are just desperately trying to get this to the right people. My brother's beautiful dog Juno has gone missing in the Bathurst area.

• Missing female rescue Amstaff.
• Black coat with white spot on chest.
• Wearing a pink and black collar with Airtag.
• Went missing 5:15PM Friday 21 March from Turon Crossing Reserve Camp Ground after bolting from a gunshot.

She’s timid but very friendly. Please like/share this post. ANY sightings or info would be a blessing.

They are still at the camp ground. Radio channel: 52

Thank you!
