Monash led partnership awarded $1.1 m to deal with the unique healthcare needs of refugees

Professor Grant Russell
A team of internationally renowned researchers and refugee health industry experts, led by Monash University, has been awarded a $1.1 million NHMRC Partnership grant to improve primary health care delivery to refugees living in Australia.

Over 75,000 permanent resident visas were granted to refugees and asylum seekers between 2010 and 2015. The majority of these refugees have significant health issues, which have never been addressed in their homeland or en route to Australia. In addition, the lack of a national system for reviewing health needs of refugees and ensuring adequate follow up often means these new Australians end up in the hospital emergency departments with serious conditions that could have been alleviated by early intervention.

The project, called the OPTIMISE Partnership Project, brings together academics from Monash University, the University of New South Wales, La Trobe University and the University of Ottawa with 11 leading Victorian, NSW and national partner organizations*.

According to lead researcher, Monash Universitys Professor Grant Russell, refugees have complex health needs arising from past trauma and sub-optimal care prior to arrival.  While all states and territories accept refugees for resettlement, the majority settle in NSW and Victoria.

Compared to the wider population, refugees are at greater risk of:
  •      mental health conditions
  •      infectious disease
  •      nutritional deficiencies
  •      obstetric complications
  •      poor dental health
  •     and disability
According to Professor Russell, complex physical and psychological problems are often addressed only for the first time in Australia. While specialist services provide initial care for refugees on arrival, their long term care is less assured with many refugees struggling to access mainstream general practitioners, specialists, community health services and hospitals due to language and cultural differences, limited understanding of the Australian health system and socioeconomic disadvantage.”

Health providers are also under strain. Despite best efforts, GPs and other service providers can struggle to provide appropriate care to refugees because of limited knowledge of refugee health needs and difficulties with providing interpreters and culturally responsive care,he added.

While different states have different systems to integrate refugees into the mainstream health system, it is becoming increasingly clear that refugees struggle to access appropriate, high quality primary care.  Often the first point of call for new, often preventable problems, is the hospital emergency department, which adds to the burden on Commonwealth health budgets.

The OPTIMISE Partnership Project will focus on three Australian regions with high refugee resettlement: South East Melbourne, North West Melbourne and South West Sydney.

In the last 10 years alone, these regions received 51,000 humanitarian entrants equivalent to 36% of national intake.

Over the next four years (2016-2020), the OPTIMISE Partnership Project will identify pressure points in the current system of care relating to the accessibility of, transition between and quality within services caring for refugees and asylum seekers. Researchers and industry experts will work in close collaboration to design interventions to address these system gaps in an effective and sustainable way.

The vision of the OPTIMISE Partnership Project is to build health system capacity for ensuring that refugees and asylum seekers receive the primary care they need when they need it, thus reducing inappropriate use of hospital emergency departments.

MHTP collaborators include Professor Andrew Block, Professor Helena Teede, Professor Graham Meadows, Dr Joanne Enticott and Dr Sayed Wahidi.


* The national partner organizations are: Monash Health, cohealth, NSW Refugee Health Service, South Eastern Health Providers Association, North Western Melbourne PHN, South Western Sydney PHN, AMES Australia, Settlement Services International, Victorian Department of Health and Human Services, Victorian Refugee Health Network, Refugee Health Network of Australia and Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

The price of a healthy diet for all Victorians: divide between rural and metro

Dr Claire Palermo
Victoria is probably Australia’s most populated state, with the least number of areas that could be regarded as remote. Yet a new study reveals that Victorians living in non urban environments pay more for healthy food than their urban counterparts.

Nutritious diets are more expensive and the costs of a healthy diet can increase further for those Victorians who live in rural areas, according to a new study that has broken down the cost of a “basket” of healthy food available to four different types of Victorian families. Interestingly the study found that “eating healthily” was more a factor of proximity to towns and cities than socioeconomic status.

The groundbreaking study, led by Dr Claire Palermo, from the Monash Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, has studied how much a basket of nutritious food (fruit, vegetables, meat and meat products, breads and cereals, costs across 26 metro and 76 rural areas, a total of 115 stores  in winter and summer of 2012, 2013 and 2014.

The study – published last week in The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health  – looked at the cost of food for four different families for a fortnight (a family of four; single parents; female over 65 years and male 18-50 years). The research team took a random sample of stores in rural and metro areas, collecting data on the price of each item.

The study found that the cost of a “healthy food basket” for a family of four increased by $27 to a total of $451 from July 2012 to December 2014. According to Dr Palermo, this cost is 32% of for those on the lowest income. “A healthy diet costs around 30% of government benefits income.  Anything over 30% is classified as unaffordable,” she said.

For the same period of time the food basket increased in price by $21 to $310 for a single parent family; $7 to $109 for a female over 65 years and $6 to $141 for a male 18-50. All three groups kept the cost of their basket under 30% of the average income for that group.

The data also revealed that the distance of stores from the state capital city predicts differences in food costs, making healthy food options unaffordable for some Victorians.

Significantly, the research team also showed that the further the store is from the city centre, the higher the total cost of the healthy food basket, despite much of Victoria not being considered very remote.

Dr Palermo, an Accredited Practising Dietitian, added that there was no association found between basket cost and the socio-economic index of the town in which the store was located.

“These findings provide new and unique insights into the cost of food as a key determinant of health in a populated state such as Victoria.”

The mean cost of the healthy basket for a typical family represents approximately 31% of household income, and given the rising costs of living pressures and related ‘food stress’, eating a healthy diet may be less attainable for those on lower incomes, Dr Palermo added.

The study also found that:
  • ·        The cost of fruit and vegetables varied over time more than meats, breads/cereals, dairy foods and non core foods such as margarine.
  • ·        The farther a store is from the city centre the higher the total cost of a healthy basket of food
  • ·        No association was found between basket cost and the socio-economic index of the town in which store tested was located

The findings support research just published by Dr Palermo in the Dietitians Association of Australia’s journal Nutrition & Dietetics, which highlights that the average cost of a basket of fruit and vegetables is 23 per cent cheaper from green grocers, compared with supermarkets.

"Knowing that fruits and vegetables can be purchased from green grocers for around 23% less than at the supermarket may positively influence the buying habits and subsequent intake patterns of Melburnians," said Dr Palermo.


FREE online course, "Food as Medicine"

Professor Helen Truby and her team in the department of Nutrition and Dietetics at Monash University have developed a free online course addressing the question- can we use food as medicine?

Food has traditionally been used as medicine and this course looks to explore its current role in health and disease; take a closer look at nutrition science and how it guides us on what and how much to eat for health;  and how to apply evidenced-based nutrition knowledge to guide food choices.

This course is designed for anyone with an interest in food, nutrition and health and does not require previous knowledge or experience in science or health studies.

This course will also be of interest to medical and healthcare professionals looking to upskill their knowledge in food and nutrition, and see what the current evidence is for using foods to improve health.

There are two Food as Medicine courses running in 2016, starting:

·        Monday 2 May

Ritchie Centre scientists visit John Monash Science School

Two Ritchie Centre researchers have given the next generation of high school graduates a taste of life as a career scientist.

Dr Stacey Ellery and PhD student Mikee Inocencio spoke with a group of 100 year 10 to 12 students at John Monash Science School in Clayton recently.

Dr Stacey Ellery, who has recently completed her PhD in the Ritchie Centre, told students what it’s like to be an early career researcher, while PhD student Mikee Innocencio said he wanted to broaden the students’ perspective on what a university science degree can offer, by showing them videos of both scientific experiments and surgeries.

“I spoke about the subjects I did in high school, and how that led to what I did at university,” Mikee said.

“Science is not just about staring down a microscope, there is so much more that you can do.

“Research is something we’re passionate about doing. I wanted to show the students what a science degree can lead to,” he said.

Mikee said addressing the students was a way of giving back to the community by encouraging increased participation in science.

“It’s cool to speak to a group of students you might someday be working with.”

Ischemia, immunosuppression and infection - Tackling the predicaments of post-stroke complications

Dr Connie Wong
Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellow
Centre for Inflammatory Diseases

The incidence of stroke has risen over the past decade and will continue to be one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. While a large portion of immediate death following stroke is due to cerebral infarction and neurological complications, the most common medical complication in stroke patients is infection. Recent evidence suggests that the disrupted interplay between the central nervous system and immune system contributes to the development of infection after stroke. The suppression of systemic immunity by the nervous system is thought to protect the brain from further inflammatory insult, yet this comes at the cost of increased susceptibility to infection after stroke. In the talk, I will be outlining our recent work in this field, including identification of the source of infection and potential targets for therapy. 


Connie completed her Honours and PhD studies at MIMR (now Hudson Institute) and graduated in 2008. Her postdoctoral training was at University of Calgary, under Prof. Paul Kubes, a prominent figure in intravascular immunity research. During this time, she made important discoveries that resulted in a number of high-impact publications. Upon her return to Australia, she was awarded ARC DECRA fellowship. She is currently funded by the Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellowship and the leader of the Neuroinflammation Research Group at the Centre for Inflammatory Diseases (CID), where she runs her own independently funded research team.

myResearch: New Gene Technology application form

You may be aware that we will be implementing a new online application form for requests to work with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This form will be available in April and will replace the current forms.

This is part of the myResearch project, which is implementing new IT systems and processes in 2016 to enhance research management support.

What is being replaced?

All previous application forms for Dealings are being combined into one simple form.

The new form is a simple, saveable online form that pre-populates with basic details, including your name and your school/department/ institute. The form is a ‘smart form’ that adjusts to provide you with the sections relating to your specific dealing request, based on your answers to questions.

The form is part of our new ethics and compliance management system, Ethics Review Manager (ERM), by Infonetica, which is being implemented progressively from April – August 2016.  ERM will be used by researchers and Ethics and Biosafety Committees to apply for approval, review applications and to track approved requests, all in one easy-to-use interface. 

Human and animal ethics applications will also be managed through this system in mid-2016.

Why is this change being made?

myResearch is being implemented to provide a single point of access to systems and information about your grants, contracts, outputs and ethics applications. It can be accessed directly by researchers as well as professional staff and will replace the current ROPES system and the MRO coversheet, as well as other forms.

The ethics and compliance component, ERM, will give you greater visibility of your past and live applications and the status of clearances and approvals.

Where can I access the new form?

The new form will be accessible from the myResearch website on the Monash intranet. We will share the URL with you prior to the changeover.

All applicants will require a Monash authcate to access the system.

When will the form be available?

On 15 April the form will be available. The current forms will be retired on this date. 

Will my current information be in the new system?

Information related to your current dealings will be imported into the new system over the coming months.  Once imported you will be able to view a basic outline of that record.

What support is available for me with these new forms and processes?

Quick reference guides and short videos will be available to assist you when the online forms are released. We will inform you of the dates and venues of information sessions.

Please contact Eleni Filippidis in the Monash Research Office with questions: phone 990 51118 or eleni.filippidis@monash.edu
