The future of Meals on Wheels and teaching teens to drive
Meals on Wheels has been around for more than 70 years, but in a growing number of communities the service is facing challenges. Meals on Wheels chair Paul Sadler, volunteer Carol Gillman and geropsychologist Nancy Pachana discuss changes rolling out across the country and the future of Meals on Wheels. Learning to drive is a rite of passage for many Australians, and often it's the people who raised us sitting in the passenger seat. But do we have the skills to prepare our teenagers to hit to road? The Australian Council of Trade Unions has put forward a proposal to increase annual leave from four weeks to five. At the same time, the average worker is doing around the same amount of unpaid work each year. Fiona Macdonald and Rae Frances talk through how we could tackle big changes to the way we work.
