Background: Eating Disorders (EDs) are among the deadliest of the mental disorders and carry a sizeable public health burden, however their research and treatment is consistently underfunded, contributing to protracted illness and ongoing paucity of treatment innovation. Methods: We compare absolute levels and growth rates of Australian mental health research funding by illness group for the years 2009–2021, with a specific focus on eating disorders analysed at the portfolio level.
The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) is an international standards development organization (SDO) focused on advancing human health and medicine through genomic data sharing and interoperability. Founded in 2013, the organization has evolved over time and has adapted to unexpected challenges in ways that we believe would be of interest to the broad biomedical community. In this chapter, we present our experiences to support others wishing to share data through global, community-driven standards supporting SDG3.
The growth of predictive data analytics and the simultaneous growth in the availability of interoperable AI-enabled devices offer opportunities to mitigate healthcare disparities currently endemic in indigent, underrepresented, and underserved communities supporting SDG3.
This article aims to identify and break barriers in order to implement the best care for First Nations' mothers.
This article highlights the continuity of care where new culturally specific midwife continuity models had been recently implemented.
Located within a community-controlled health service, the Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program can foster cultural connection, peer support and access to health and social services; all contributing to self-efficacy.
According to this study, multimorbidity was highly prevalent and dying in hospital during a palliative care admission is common for Indigenous Australians. These data can inform end-of-life care and health service planning for Indigenous Australians living with heart failure and cardiomyopathy.

The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) is an international standards development organization focused on advancing human health and medicine through genomic data sharing and interoperability. Founded in 2013, the organization has evolved over time and has adapted to unexpected challenges. Three themes have emerged as critical to the organization's success: (1) community needs must drive development; (2) agility is necessary to create global equity and opportunity; (3) developing an idea into a widely adopted standard requires multiple levels of consensus furthering SDG3.

This putative reintroduction of emus (extirpated soon after European colonization) to Tasmania could reinstate several ecological and cultural roles but successful rewilding would require support from the wider community.
