Disruptions to support services during the COVID-19 pandemic led Australians with disabilities to report significant declines in life satisfaction and mental health, a new study from Flinders University has found. The research also found government and community awareness campaigns often failed to account for the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, with unclear guidelines and inaccessible information leading to heightened stress and confusion. The authors say future policies and public health responses must prioritise inclusivity by ensuring that individuals with disabilities are not only considered, but actively involved in the planning process.

Skyrocketing living costs, the housing crisis, crime and environmental destruction are among the top concerns identified by Australians in the initial results of Flinders University’s Wicked Problems Survey. Early insights gathered through focused conversations in SA have identified 15 major issues now included in a major national survey, which will be rolled-out to 30,000 Australians across all states and territories. The Wicked Problems Survey is Flinders’ research initiative providing an unprecedented opportunity for Australians to decide which issues our leading researchers should help address in their local communities. Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), Professor Raymond Chan , says the initial results highlight key issues for Australians, and the national survey will either confirm these findings, reveal new concerns, or both, paving the way for impactful discoveries. Australians can provide further information about the issues impacting them and their local communities until the end of November via the survey 🔗 https://bit.ly/4eMfv8k

The modern list of addictions stretches far beyond recognised battles with alcohol and narcotics abuse. Behavioural issues are causing increasing problems, from online gambling and gaming to a growing need for self-gratification through social media. All of these excesses lead to lasting mental and physical health problems, and Flinders University researchers across multiple research disciplines – including psychology, health sciences, nursing, anthropology and social work – are identifying core issues that can help resolve addiction issues, for adults and a growing number of children.
