Youth employment impacted by mental health crisis
Youth employment impacted by mental health crisis

10 October 2024, 2:13 AM

As young people across the Fleurieu Peninsula face mounting mental health challenges, many are struggling to enter and remain in the workforce. Increasing rates of anxiety, depression, and stress among local youth are creating barriers to employment, which could lead to long-term financial and social impacts if left unaddressed.According to a recent national youth mental health survey from Headspace, only half of young Australians aged 12-25 feel confident about their career prospects. With just 54 per cent feeling capable of applying for jobs and 52 per cent believing they have the necessary skills to succeed, it is clear that mental health is a significant factor affecting their confidence and ability to secure meaningful employment.Mental health concerns are escalating, with one in four young Australians now at risk of serious mental illness. The situation grows more pressing with age, placing mental health as one of the most critical issues facing today’s generation. In recognition of World Mental Health Day (10 October) and Mental Health Month, employment services provider atWork Australia is highlighting the growing crisis affecting local youth and its impact on their ability to find and maintain steady employment.Through their specialised services, atWork Australia is offering tailored support programs that include career counselling, mental health resources, and workplace accommodations. These services are aimed at helping young people on the Fleurieu Peninsula, like their peers nationwide, overcome mental health obstacles and build the confidence and skills needed for professional success, despite the challenges they face.Since January 2024, atWork Australia has assisted over 7,500 young clients under the age of 25 on their journey toward employment. Many of these young people have found work in casual roles within industries that are crucial to the Fleurieu Peninsula, such as hospitality, retail, and construction. Interestingly, despite the significant mental health challenges they face, young people supported by atWork Australia are 4% more successful in securing employment compared to their older counterparts.atWork Australia also offers access to a network of over 50 psychologists and Allied Health Professionals who provide essential mental health support during the transition to sustainable employment.One client, Kiarah, aged 22, has bravely shared her story. Kiarah faced mental health challenges from a young age, which impacted her ability to maintain stable employment. After battling Borderline Personality Disorder, she sought support from atWork Australia and began receiving both emotional and practical assistance. With the guidance of her job coach, Kiarah was able to regain her confidence and work toward meaningful employment.Kiarah’s story is a testament to the strength of young people on the Fleurieu Peninsula and beyond. Her experience highlights the importance of providing tailored support for those who are navigating the dual challenges of employment and mental health. As mental health remains a barrier for many young Australians, creating inclusive and supportive workplaces is more vital than ever.By prioritising mental health in the workplace, we can ensure that all young people have the opportunity to thrive both personally and professionally.For more information about atWork Australia’s services or to access their mental health support hub, visit the website.About atWork AustraliaatWork Australia has been providing employment services on behalf of the Australian Government since 2003.

RSPCA Issues Warning After Cat Burnt in Rubbish Fire
RSPCA Issues Warning After Cat Burnt in Rubbish Fire

09 October 2024, 6:00 AM

Residents urged to take precautions before lighting rubbish piles to protect animalsThe RSPCA South Australia is urging property owners to take extra precautions to ensure the safety of animals before igniting large rubbish piles. This comes after a male cat, estimated to be around four years old, suffered severe burns while hiding in a pile of rubbish that was set on fire in Sellicks Hill on Monday, September 16.The cat, believed to have been sleeping in the pile, fled to a neighbouring property after the fire started. A local resident, noticing the cat was injured, quickly captured him and rushed him to Southcoast Animal Hospital in Port Noarlunga for emergency treatment.The cat received immediate pain relief and sedation before his burnt paws were cleaned and bandaged. He was later transferred to the care of the RSPCA South Australia's veterinary team. According to Senior RSPCA SA Vet Dr Fauve Buckley, the cat sustained deep burns to all four of his paw pads, and his recovery will take several more weeks."One of the main concerns with burns is the risk of infection," Dr Buckley explained. "The cat has been undergoing regular wound care, including the removal of burnt skin, soaking in saline solution, and rebandaging. Pain management and regular blood tests to monitor kidney function and infection risk have also been crucial parts of his treatment."Despite his ordeal, the cat, who has been named Monty, is said to have a friendly and outgoing personality, although no one has yet come forward to claim him. Monty was not microchipped, but he is now under the care of a foster family and is expected to be available for adoption by the end of the month.In response to the incident, RSPCA SA Rescue Team Leader Nalika van Loenen has reminded property owners of the dangers animals face when rubbish piles are set alight. "Animals often seek out these piles as places to hide or sleep, especially during colder weather," van Loenen says. "This can include not only domestic animals but also wildlife such as lizards, possums, echidnas, and snakes."To reduce the risk to animals, van Loenen recommends property owners feed rubbish into a controlled burn site next to the pile, allowing any hidden animals time to escape.The RSPCA advises checking with local councils regarding fire restrictions and making plenty of noise around rubbish piles before igniting them, giving animals a chance to move to safety.Monty is expected to make a full recovery, and the RSPCA hopes his story will serve as a reminder of the importance of being cautious and mindful of animals when lighting fires.RSPCA SA has today launched an emergency fundraising appeal to help cover the cost of Monty’s veterinary treatment and ongoing care.

Corellas targeted on KI
Corellas targeted on KI

08 October 2024, 8:01 PM

The Kangaroo Island Landscape Board will trial a targeted program to control the Little Corella population on the island, in response to community concerns.Kangaroo Island Mayor Michael Pengilly says the council and Landscape Board are seeking information from the community regarding the roosting sites of the birds, which are an over abundant native species."Little Corellas have been an issue on Kangaroo Island and across South Australia for decades," Mayor Pengilly says.“Large little Corella flocks damage property and community infrastructure and can present public health risks.”He says from late summer to early winter, roaming flocks of juvenile birds join up with adult birds and focus on prime feeding and roosting sites."When this happens, temporary flocks of thousands of birds gather and descend on a few localised sites."Large flocks of Little Corellas negatively impact community wellbeing and cause distress for community members, particularly when large numbers amass in Kangaroo Island's townships."Little Corellas have extremely powerful bills and can cause damage to orchards, vineyards, cereal and pasture crops."They can cause damage to ovals, bowling greens and golf greens from digging and damage to wooden structures, tarpaulins, vehicles, and electrical wiring from chewing," he says.Little Corellas are a native bird species but under Schedule 10 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972, they are listed as an unprotected species in South Australia.The Kangaroo Island Landscape Board Little Corella pilot control program aims to assess the impact of targeted shooting and to gather more data about roosting sites.General Manager Will Durack says a feral animal control officer with extensive experience through previous feral goat, deer and pig eradication programs is leading this work."The targeted shooting pilot will begin early in the season as scout birds come in," he says."Pending an evidence-based assessment of the impact and effectiveness of the pilot shooting program and available funds, a decision will be made about whether to continue the program."We are asking the community to report Little Corella roosting sites to improve the program's effectiveness." Mayor Michael Pengilly says property owners experiencing detrimental impacts caused by Little Corellas could use various non-lethal methods to deter the birds."These include loud, sharp noises where appropriate or rotating flashing lights and high-powered torches between sunset and sunrise. Physical barriers such as bird netting or visual deterrents can also protect property."Landowners do not need a permit to destroy animals listed as unprotected. However, the destruction of any animal must abide by the Animal Welfare Act 1985 and be consistent with relevant codes of practice." The Department for Environment and Water has prepared a guideline for the code of practice for the humane destruction of birds by shooting or trapping, available on the website. It is a legal requirement that all Little Corella management activities comply with this code.Landowners and shooters acting on behalf of landowners must hold a valid and current firearms license, and police approval is required to discharge firearms in a built-up area.Rural property owners must comply with requirements and regulations set by the Environmental Protection Authority and the Country Fire Service when using gas guns to deter these birds from their property.To report Little Corella roosting sites, call the Kangaroo Island Landscape Board on 8553 2476 or the Kangaroo Island Council on 8553 4500.For more information about Little Corella management in South Australia visit the Kangaroo Island Council website.

Have a say on the future shape of Greater Adelaide
Have a say on the future shape of Greater Adelaide

05 October 2024, 8:30 PM

Urban infill or greenfields development? In a housing crisis the argument takes greater focus, with increasing pressure on farmland and open space in regions like the Fleurieu.The state government has released its draft Greater Adelaide Regional Plan (GARP) for public consultation.  The GARP is a 30-year plan that gives people access to the government’s long-term vision for sustainable growth across the Adelaide region.It plays a critical role in identifying appropriate land for future housing, employment, commercial uses, and the necessary supporting infrastructure. Greater Adelaide’s population is expected to grow by an additional 670,000 people by 2050. The state government says it is committed to smarter, more sustainable planning that ensures growth is supported by essential services, infrastructure, economic opportunities, and an enjoyable lifestyle. The GARP is intended to establish a planning framework for the region, identifying where an extra 315,000 homes can be located and where jobs will be created as the population expands. Spanning approximately 11,000 square kilometres from Cape Jervis to Murray Bridge, taking in the townships of the Barossa and the boundary of Port Wakefield, the Greater Adelaide region is home to around 1.5 million people, approximately 85 per cent of the state’s population. The draft GARP currently open for consultation builds on insights from a three-month engagement process on the Greater Adelaide Regional Plan Discussion Paper in late 2023.Planning Minister Nick Champion says it’s critical the state plans for future growth.  “The Greater Adelaide Regional Plan will provide clarity and direction for the community, councils, and developers on Greater Adelaide’s long-term growth. “We are more committed than ever to making home ownership and secure housing more available to the next generation of South Australians.  “As our economy booms and population grows, it’s vital that we address the challenges of housing affordability and the need for quality public spaces and supporting infrastructure. “It’s time for the public to have their say on the 30-year plan. We want to ensure that this vision aligns with community aspirations and the needs of the next generations of future South Australians. State Planning Commission Chair Craig Holden says Adelaide’s reputation as one of the world’s most liveable cities was strongly affirmed by feedback on the 2023 Discussion Paper.“The community’s passion for their region is evident, and we are eager for them to play a central role in shaping the Plan. “Much of the feedback focused on how we can protect and enhance the region’s most valued attributes—our premium food and wine, scenic landscapes, natural environment, cultural and built heritage, and our world-class beaches—while also ensuring we have the land needed to support future growth.” The draft GARP outlines a comprehensive strategy for the region’s growth and sets a vision for sustainable development over the next 30-years.The public is encouraged to share their views on key priorities, including:The location of new housing and employment areas.Major infrastructure required to support growth.Specific areas that should be protected from future development. South Australians are invited to provide feedback and help shape the long-term planning vision for urban, land, and housing development across the state. The community can provide feedback by visiting the Regional Planning Portal. The consultation period closes on Monday 4 November at 5pm.
