June 2023 - The Future of Healthcare
With Victoria’s healthcare transformation towards predictive and preventative medicine, coupled with a growing population nearing 8 million by 2032, we face a pivotal moment in shaping a proactive system that empowers individuals while protecting the population. In this edition, we look at some of the considerations for a healthier future for Victoria and Victorians.

Victoria is home to tens of thousands of native plant species, but as at June 2023, 1,618 of these are under threat of extinction in our state (FFG Act Threatened List, June 2023). As the impacts of climate change are increasingly felt, there is a risk that this number will rise unless we act. In this edition, we look at the value of our flora, how we can support ecosystems in a changing climate, and whether the European model of seasons is unsuited to our part of the world.
From field work in your backyard to fight extinction, to a journey to the Moon and beyond, the June 2021 edition takes us to Science Beyond the Lab!
