Victoria Legal Aid services in the Mallee - Duration: 3:04.
Victoria Legal Aid has opened a new office in Mildura
to serve the everyday legal needs of the Mallee region.
We are co-located inside, and we'll be working alongside the Sunraysia Community Health Service
because we've found that our clients health and legal problems often overlap.
People often see health professionals, a physiotherapist or a podiatrist, someone that you see really regularly
and you've already formed a really good, trusting relationship with.
so the benefit of having the health worker and the lawyers working together is
that they share knowledge between them so that physiotherapist that you're seeing might be more aware
that housing issue is in fact something a lawyer could help with.
The legal system is very difficult to navigate if you're not familiar with it
as is the health system, and so what we are able to do with clients, we can actually say to them
are you aware of this service that we have here? And we can actually, now, with the knowledge that we've gained,
from having legal aid here, give them some very accurate information.
I'm a counselor, I've been a counselor for a long time but I'm not a nurse and I
don't have legal experience and all that sort of thing.
so as much as I can help people with their specific drug and alcohol problems
it is really, really good to have someone who has a voice and the power to actually speak up for these people
when they need it.
Before we arrived in the Mallee, Victoria Legal Aid did a lot of research about what
legal problems people needed help with.
as a result, we are prioritising legal needs such as child protection, housing,
debts and fines and mental health orders.
The law survey found that only around 16 per cent of people with legal problems actually get advice
and as a lawyer that's really worrying because it means that people in the community
that have legal problems, and they might not even realise their legal problems,
are just suffering through a particular issue thinking that that's just what they need to work through.
without knowing that they could actually get help for that problem.
The Mallee also has a diverse population with the second highest Aboriginal population in Victoria
and several newly arrived communities that may find it difficult to access legal help.
It makes it quite easier to have such services available to us.
It decreases the number of concerns and issues that may arise with our clients.
We go down these paths all the time that we think about health care and holistic care
and just having VLA is just like another piece to the puzzle
and it just makes us provide a whole lot better service.
Our lawyers can talk to you about your legal options, help you reach agreement,
prepare legal documents and speak for you in court.
Find out how Victoria Legal Aid could help you.
People can just walk into the Sunraysia Community Health building and we're here behind dental reception.
My advice is just come in and see either our staff
and we can help you then contact Legal Aid
or you can just make a direct appointment with Legal Aid and see the staff there
and they're very welcoming and approachable.

DGS Office of Legal Services on Strategic Planning 2016 - Duration: 3:35.
Good afternoon everyone my name is Henry Nanjo and I'm the Deputy Director Acting
Deputy Director and Chief Legal Counsel for the Department of General Services.
The Office of Legal Services is the office of attorneys for the department
and we also have the role of approving personal services contracts for most
other state agencieas. Personal services contracts are those contracts where the
contractor provides a duty or labor as opposed to commodities or goods. Unless a
state agency is exempt, most personal services contracts are not valid unless
the Office of Legal Services or all s approves it. We ensure that the personal
services contracts meet the requirements of the state law and also the state
contracting manual. If a contract has issues, those issues must be corrected
before we can approve it and what results is a contract is returned to the
agency and then the agency is charged for the office of legal services to
re-review that contract. This results in more time before services under those
contracts can be delivered, and it results in more costs for the agency and
additional review time by OLS attorneys, so along those veins to remedy that, our
first goal is to develop targeted training modules to address common
contracting issues and the reasons for contract rejection. We will be working
with the DGS office of strategic planning policy and research to review
all OLS data, on the reasons that contracts are returned and identified those common
issues and problems for various state agencies and divisions. The OLS team will
then identify those issues and develop specified targeted training modules that
we can provide to those agencies and divisions to alleviate those problems.
Finally, the OLS team will reach out and have discussions with those agencies and
units to both offer the training and kind
give them an understanding of common problems that we've come across that
results in those contracts to be resubmitted. Our second goal is to
establish a robust training program and tracking database to document and
protect the states states created intellectual property. After a Bureau of
state audits report legislation was passed last year that charged DGS Office
of Legal Services with assisting state agencies to assist them in managing and
protecting the state's IP or intellectual property. Many of us have
probably read about how the National Park Service had to change the names of
various iconic locations at Yosemite National Park because they inadvertently
let the concessionaire trademark and get the intellectual property rights to
those landmarks. Things like the Awanee hotel Curry Village, so in order to
prevent anything like that from happening to state agencies we will be
working with an advisory group of key stakeholders and we've already started
meeting to determine training subjects to kind of come up with elements of a
database and also materials and the best way to get the word out to state
agencies so they can protect the state's intellectual property. Those are the two
goals that we will be focusing on at the Office of Legal Services this year.

Overview of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force - Duration: 2:02.
- [Narrator] Every time a primary care clinician
sees a patient, it's an opportunity
to prevent disease and promote good health.
The range of available preventive services is extensive,
and new evidence about what works
continually comes to light.
How does a primary care clinician
know the best preventive opportunities
for each and every patient?
To address this challenge, more than 30 years ago,
an independent, volunteer panel was created.
The United States Preventive Services Task Force.
The Task Force reviews all the research
on specific preventive services
and provides evidence-based recommendations.
Each member of the Task Force is a nationally-recognized
expert in disease prevention and evidence-based medicine.
Most are practicing primary care clinicians.
The preventive services they evaluate include screenings,
behavioral counseling, and preventive medications,
ways that can help prevent disease
before there are any obvious signs or symptoms.
Before a final recommendation is made, materials are opened
to scientific review and public comment.
Then, after all input is considered,
a final recommendation is published.sidered,
a final recommendation is published.
If there isn't enough evidence to make a recommendation,
the Task Force calls for more research, and each year,
reports to Congress on priority research gaps.
Every Task Force recommendation becomes a valuable
evidence-based tool that primary care clinicians
can depend on.
With the help of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force,
primary care clinicians, their patients, and their families
have the knowledge they need to help prevent disease
and promote good health.

Huebsch Services: Aiming for the best service for their customers - Duration: 2:31.
We're located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. We are a 126-year-old family company.
We primarily do industrial laundering. Mats, work wear,
and then towels, and aprons, and other products like that.
I see a lot of the problems that we face today
being able to solve with the technology that's available.
The UHF and RF tech chips are really promising.
I'm looking at one of the new mat rollers that we have already have and we're
going to be modifying it with UHF readers so that we could do additional sorting.
We track every garment as a unique asset.
We use the chip to keep track of our inventory,
we use it to ensure the quality that we're promising.
'Is the customer getting exactly what they're supposed to get and when?'
And it helps us keep track of our costs.
We like to think of ourselves as innovators.
I'm not sure that we really are, as much as that we're never happy with what we have,
and we know that we could improve, so we're continuously trying to improve.
I think the innovation is using technologies that are available -
and it's how we use it!
Almost all the technologies could be had by every one of our competitors,
so it's how do you use it is the competitive advantage.
I think we have certain advantages that we're a smaller company,
we're very hands on
and we do our own - most of our own development work.
So I think we have an advantage in network.
Maybe a little bit closer to the the customer and closer to the problem.
I think the company of the future has to be specialized
and I think it has to embrace some of the technologies and that's why I am here.
And, we've been partnering now how many years.
We really like the Inwatec products
and we're able to partner with a company
that's really leading in the technology.
And so what if we're you know a 10-hour flight away?
