Let's Talk About Sex with Saul Isbister

Content Warning: Before we begin, we want to let you know that this episode contains discussions about the sensitive topic of sexual abuse. Please prioritise your health and well-being, and if this is an episode you choose to skip, we’ll see you at the next one. Welcome to episode 30 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast: Let's Talk About Sex. Our guest is Saul Isbister, President of Touching Base Inc A volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation, developed out of the need to assist people with disability and sex workers to connect with each other, focusing on access, discrimination, human rights and legal issues and the attitudinal barriers that these two marginalised communities can face. Since episode 19 when Anjelo Ratnachandra and I touched on the subject of intimacy, sex, and chronic pain, I’ve continued to wonder and be curious about the topic of intimacy and sex, particularly in the personal injury and disability space. Healthcare professionals and rehab people are always going on about holistic care, and a biopsychosocial approach, and, a part of that is acknowledging that sexual and physical intimacy are at the core to the human experience. In this episode, Saul and Rhea discuss: Touching Base Inc: Website | NDIS & sex work resource | Scarlet Road Documentary Instagram: Sexuality Education, Counselling, and Consultancy Agency @secca_org | Undressing Disability @undressingdisability Bits and pieces: The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast is a Threesticks Production | Producer & Host: Rhea Mercado | Will is our Emperor of Sound, Executive Producer.

Lawyer Up! with Tyrone Walker, Special Counsel

2/1/2024
Exercise Physiology Services fall outside the scope of regulation of The National Law, rendering certain provisions of the law inapplicable to this profession. Nonetheless, every person as an individual is subject to the laws of the land.Welcome to Episode #28 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast. Lawyer Up! with Tyrone Walker, Special Counsel at Hunt & Hunt. Howdy Folks, Rhea here. In late 2023, I was engaged in a Facebook forum thread. I don’t usually enjoy having nuanced discussions over social media comment sections, so I bowed out after a few exchanges. My entry point into the thread was regarding the use of the word “specialist,” and the discussion went to whether exercise physiologists were subject to The Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009, which is a nationally consistent law which was passed in QLD and enacted in states and territories in 2009 and 2010. From here on I’ll just refer to it as The National Law. One side of the discussion was that exercise physiologists were not subject to The National Law, I agreed that, yes, Exercise Physiology Services fall outside the scope of regulation of The National Law, rendering certain provisions of the law inapplicable to this profession. Nonetheless, every person as an individual is subject to the laws of the land. As I dove straight down the legal rabbit hole, I found more questions than answers, and that’s when I turned to Tyrone Walker, Special Counsel at Hunt & Hunt in NSW.

Taxing Healthcare with David Beard and Dr Felix Meyer

10/17/2023
For nearly two decades, the exercise physiology community has advocated for a change in the legislation to ensure fair and equitable access to healthcare services for the Australian Community. Welcome to The Intelligent Rebellion podcast, hosted by Rhea Mercado, Healthcare Humanist, Speaker and Author. @rheamercs Subscribers of The Intelligent Rebellion newsletter have access the extended version of this episode which includes the full interview with Dr Felix Meyer. Check your inbox. For more than two decades, there has been a tax imposed on the Australian community making access to some healthcare services more expensive than others. This is the Goods & Services Tax or the (GST). When this tax was introduced in Australia in July 2000 it exempted multiple healthcare services like hospitals, aged care, disability, general health and allied health services from applying GST to their services, however, other medical services including EP, music therapists, psychotherapists, counsellors and diabetes educators were not included in the exemption. For nearly two decades, the exercise physiology community has advocated for a change in the legislation to ensure fair and equitable access to healthcare services for the Australian Community. For nearly two decades, the community have been meeting with politicians, writing letters, and signing petitions. Rhea sat down with David Beard, an exercise physiologist, and Dr Felix Meyer a representative of Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA), the professional association for exercise physiologist to discuss why it’s so important for EP services to be GST-free, how GST-free services benefit the Australian community, and what in the world is it taking so long?

Short Stuff: Exercise Physiologist Vs Physiotherapist with Nikki Lodge and Matt Hicks

8/29/2023
By intentionally gathering a team of un-like minds with unique interests and skillsets and combining this with the immense resources available in their immediate area, Matt and Nikki have developed a truly multi-disciplinary approach to rehabilitation and recovery. Listen to the full episode Welcome to Short Stuff Sessions of the The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast. This Short Stuff is from Episode 007 Exercise Physiologist Vs Physiotherapist with Nikki Lodge and Matt Hicks of Sydney West Sports Medicine. In this episode we chat with Nikki Lodge and Matt Hicks from Sydney West Sports Medicine. Nikki and Matt start with their healthcare origin stories and what they would be doing if not in healthcare. Rhea asks them about their thoughts on a 2020 Australia Physiotherapy Association article in which the author refers to Exercise Physiology is a “trend” and had him seeing “red” when he had “work cover and GPs stating to me that patients need exercise not physiotherapy to rehabilitate.” Read the full article here. Nikki and Matt are on a mission to create safe spaces for both healthcare practitioners and the community to educate, empower and explore better ways to help people heal and recover. By unintentionally gathering a team of un-like minds with unique interests and skillsets and combining this with the immense resources available in their immediate area they have developed a truly multi-disciplinary approach to rehabilitation and recovery. During the chat, Matt also muses whether allied healthcare is a consultative process or a rehabilitative process, leading to discussion about the fluidity of rehabilitation and scrapping of the unilateral fee model. Nikki, Matt and Rhea discuss reasons why healthcare professionals hold onto their patients, wondering if it is about greed, mis-trust, lack of referral pathways, dependency on our patients or a combination of some or all of these factors. Like all chats in The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast, this discussion is emergent, ignites curiosity, raises more questions than answers, and celebrates the people and businesses which are placing humanity and ethics at the heart of their decisions.

During Sydney covid lockdown 2021 when other fitness centres went online with their classes, One55 went in a different direction. Brooke and Jane would jump onto social media and send messages of love and support to their tribe whilst chronicling their own COVID lockdown journey.

Jane and Brooke share their personal experiences of a Mum and the network of support needed to show your best self to the world.
