Скачать или смотреть Energy Poverty as a Social Determinant of Health How Can Victoria Do Better

Recorded live on Wednesday, 7 May

What if health professionals were able to prescribe energy?

This is the next Big Idea we’ll be exploring in our ‘Tackling the Energy/Health Hardship Nexus’ webinar series.


Speakers:

Dr Danielle Butler from National Energy Action UK, who will share how the UK is creating new systemic linkages between the heath, housing and energy sectors, to identify and prescribe people into energy assistance through their Warm Homes Healthy Futures program. We’ll create the space to explore: What can we learn from this initiative?

Damian Sullivan from the Brotherhood of St Laurence, who will talk about their local Victorian retrofitting initiative, Climate Safe Homes, that enables people with a chronic health condition or a disability to live in homes that are warm in winter and cool in summer. We’ll create the space to explore: How can this be scaled up to support more?

We’ll also discussed how Victoria – and other Australian jurisdictions – can invest in “the glue” to support enduring integration between the health and energy systems for seamless, more connected, high-quality supports.
