By 2053, one-quarter of Australia’s population will be aged 65 and over. Care needs are increasing as we live longer, along with rising health costs. Older people are experiencing loneliness and social isolation and in some cases, social injustice.  Families can find meeting the needs of older family members difficult given competing priorities and a lack of knowledge and caring skills.   Our homes and neighbourhoods are not conducive to ageing bodies and social needs and our care system is not keeping up with the increasing expectations of older people and their families. We need our model of care to be a model of a home.

A hackathon is a multi-day event where people come together and work intensively on ideas. Care Hack offers an opportunity for participants to come together to reimagine aged care and its current challenges to lead to an outcome that improves the life and care of older Australians.

Join us as we reimagine aged care! We need your ideas, concepts and solutions to give older people the future they deserve.

Care Hack is growing the research agenda and tackling a real-world problem. Ageing and aged care will affect us all at some stage of our lives. Through this group think-tank event, we believe we can make a difference.

On offer for your creative ideas:
$2,000 1st prize
$1,000 2nd prize
$500 3rd prize

At night just outside Paris, a woman drives along a riverbank and dumps a corpse in the river. After the body is recovered, Dr. Génessier identifies the remains as those of his missing daughter, Christiane Génessier, whose face was horribly disfigured in an automobile accident that occurred before her disappearance, for which he was responsible.

But everything is not as it seems…

Eyes Without a Face (French: Les Yeux sans visage) is a 1960 horror film adaptation of Jean Redon’s novel, directed by Georges Franju, and starring Pierre Brasseur and Alida Valli. Brasseur plays a plastic surgeon who is determined to perform a face transplant on his daughter, who was disfigured in an auto crash.

This film will have subtitles. BYO popcorn, or grab a takeaway burger from the Tav.

This exclusive movie screening will be hosted by acclaimed French actress and director Zabou Breitman, and will feature a presentation of the forthcoming Alliance Française French Film Festival (21 March – 18 April 2019), with a special focus on genre films.

In February and March, Flinders University will welcome Zabou onto campus as an Artist in Residence, where she will also direct an original performance ‘ Foolz ‘ with Flinders drama students on March 18.

New ways to understand and treat obsessive-compulsive disorders

Join us for this free public lecture on effective and accessible treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders with Professor Michael Kyrios.

Tuesday 5 March 2019
5:30pm for a 5:45pm start | a 1-hour lecture followed by refreshments
Level 1 Room 1 Flinders University at Victoria Square

The 5th edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (APA, 2013) highlights the distinctiveness of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders (OCSDs). While there are numerous OCSDs, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is probably the best-known example, although there is also growing public awareness of Hoarding Disorder (HD). These disorders are common, highly disabling and associated with high degrees of comorbidity, suicidality and health costs.

This talk will focus on OCD and HD, giving an overview of symptoms and ways of understanding them that have led to enhanced treatment options for affected individuals. In particular, the talk will focus on our team’s work with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).

This is the second of the ‘Social Transformation’ lecture series run by Flinders’ College of Education, Psychology and Social Work. This series will profile lead researchers in these areas with a focus on social transformation for researchers, policymakers and the general public.

Professor Michael Kyrios is Vice President and Executive Dean at Flinders University in the College of Education, Psychology and Social Work. He has undertaken a range of academic, practice, professional & administrative roles, and holds various adjunct positions (ANU, Melbourne and Swinburne). As a clinical psychologist, with world-leading expertise in mental health disorders and wellbeing (e.g., OCD, hoarding, compulsive buying) and their psychological treatment (inclusive of digital interventions), he has received $21.6 million in grant funding during his career and has over 160 publications. He was President of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and has been awarded a range of prizes and fellowships to professional bodies.

French actress and director Zabou Breitman will work with Flinders University drama students for this production.

This show was inspired by the documentary series “Changing minds” produced by ABC about mental health units in Australia.

A note from the director:

The term “imperturbable logic of the fool” comes from a phrase in Lydie Salvayre’s novel, whom I adapted to the theater The Company of Specters.

For a long time these words have arrested. And then the mind is focused, inspired, the question becomes obsession, and the obsession becomes a show.

I want to explore in the fringes of what is called “madness”, the crossroads of absurdity, poetry and unreason.

This show is a collage, and, as I did in “People” after Raymond Depardon, a montage largely inspired by documentaries, but melted with texts by Shakespeare, Chekhov, Racine, Kafka, Lewis Carroll, Gogol and others.

The idea is not so much a patchwork as a weave so tight that we can not distinguish the sources, while recognising furtively some accents.

There will be text, but the “crazy” that we are, has a body and its arrhythmias, its losses of equilibrium will be the object of a prominent physical work (duets, choreographed duets and trios).

I am also inspired by the work of visual artist Liu Bolin, whose chameleon body, disappears on walls, nature, supermarkets.

Zabou Breitman

 

Zabou Breitman will host an exclusive outdoor screening of  Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face) at 6pm on the 28th February at Flinders University. Click here to register.

Ageing Well Through Communities, Capacity and Innovation Communities…where we live and spend our time. Capacity…of individuals, groups and services. Innovation…policies, projects programs, and research.

These combined elements support opportunities for lifelong connectedness, active participation and meaningful experiences, each critical for older people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities who are living in a familiar or adopted land that may be ‘foreign’ at some time, to age well.

The AIFL conference brings together the expertise and innovation of multicultural communities with government, researchers, academics, policy makers and services. It aims to build sector capacity for ageing well across a range of settings through informing knowledge, practices and collaborative partnerships that respond to the voices of older people and priorities for multicultural communities.

We welcome attendance and participation from academics, researchers, practitioners, policy makers, service providers, aged care workers, and the community.

Call for abstracts is now open. Visit our website for further details.

The 13th International Conference on Greek Research is hosted by LOGOS Australian Centre for Hellenic Language and Culture. This conference is one of the most successful international conferences regarding Greek studies abroad with a great academic impact.  It has attracted more than 2500 participants over the last 22 years and more than 600 refereed papers have been published and are available online internationally.
