<p>If you spend your professional life planning the best ways to protect the community, how heartbreaking would it be when you can't protect the ones you love most.<br>Andrew Fletcher is a unit commander for the NSW SES. During last year’s bushfires, while he worked on the NSW mid north coast coordinating relief efforts in the region, his own son lost his home to bushfire on the south coast. Andrew has served in the armed forces, fought fires, floods, been on the scene at horrific road accidents on our rural highways, and through it all he has remained focussed and caring - in his own words.</p> <p>In his spare time he's fought for recognition for WWI nurses from his hometown of Bathurst, and has dipped his toe into natural heritage with the team at Jenolan Caves. With a life so colourfully lived, his story is one not to be missed.</p> <p><strong>CREDITS</strong><br><strong>Guest</strong>: Andrew Fletcher<br><strong>Host</strong>: Madeleine West<br><strong>Executive</strong> <strong>Producer</strong>: Elise Cooper<br><strong>Editors</strong>: Hannah Bowman and Elise Cooper<br><strong>Audio</strong> <strong>Engineer</strong>: David Cooper</p> <p><strong>LINKS</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong> </strong>Lifeline 13 11 14 or <a href="https://www.lifeline.org.au/">https://www.lifeline.org.au/</a></li> <li>Soldier On, help for returned servicemen and women <a href="https://soldieron.org.au/connect-hub/">https://soldieron.org.au/connect-hub/</a></li> <li>Young Diggers <a href="https://youngdiggers.com.au/">https://youngdiggers.com.au/</a></li> <li>Volunteer with your SES <ul> <li>NSW <a href="https://www.ses.nsw.gov.au/volunteer/">https://www.ses.nsw.gov.au/volunteer/</a></li> <li>QLD <a href="https://www.ses.qld.gov.au/volunteer/Pages/default.aspx">https://www.ses.qld.gov.au/volunteer/Pages/default.aspx</a></li> <li>VIC <a href="https://www.ses.vic.gov.au/volunteer">https://www.ses.vic.gov.au/volunteer</a></li> <li>SA <a href="https://www.ses.sa.gov.au/home/volunteer/">https://www.ses.sa.gov.au/home/volunteer/</a></li> <li>ACT <a href="https://esa.act.gov.au/">https://esa.act.gov.au/</a></li> <li>WA <a href="https://dfes.vol.org.au/">https://dfes.vol.org.au/</a></li> <li>NT <a href="https://pfes.nt.gov.au/join-us/become-emergency-service-volunteer">https://pfes.nt.gov.au/join-us/become-emergency-service-volunteer</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

<p>When it comes to sex work, people have a lot of assumptions. And more often than not they are of a pretty negative or judgemental nature. But, when you take a closer look at the industry you can see that escorts are care givers in the same way that nurses or occupational therapists are. But they’re working within a field that has long been associated with shame and seen as something to keep behind closed doors.</p> <p><strong>CREDITS</strong></p> <p><strong>Host</strong>: Madeleine West<br><strong>Guests</strong>: Ellie & Tash<br><strong>Executive</strong> <strong>Producer</strong>: Elise Cooper<br><strong>Editors</strong>: Hannah Bowman & Elise Cooper</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

<p>Although many of us may not notice, modern life relies heavily on forest products. Did you recently receive a package in the post? Was it in a cardboard box? Is there a printed label on the cans of veggies in your pantry? </p> <p>Yet, when most people hear the word ‘logging’ they’d probably immediately think of deforestation and environment destruction.</p> <p>Ross Hampton and Dean Kearney are two men whose job it is to make sure that the trees in this country that are cut down for everyday products, are done so sustainably. Ross is the CEO of the Australian Forest Products Association and Dean is from Forestry NSW. For this episode of Invisible Heroes Madeleine sat down with Ross and Dean, in the middle of a forest, to find out if there is even such a thing as sustainable forestry. </p> <p><strong>CREDITS </strong></p> <p><strong>Host</strong>: Madeleine West <a href="https://www.instagram.com/madmadswest/">@madmadswest </a> </p> <p><strong>Guests</strong>: Ross Hampton and Dean Kearney</p> <p><strong>Executive</strong> <strong>Producer</strong>: Elise Cooper <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisejcooper/">@elisejcooper</a> </p> <p><strong>Assistant</strong> <strong>Producer</strong>: Hannah Bowman <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itshannahbowman/">@itshannahbowman</a> </p> <p><strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Assistance</strong>: Odin from North Coast Events <a href="https://www.northcoastevents.com.au/">northcoastevents.com.au</a> </p> <p><strong>LINKS</strong> </p> <ul> <li>Forestry Corporation - <a href="https://bit.ly/2HrshPF">https://bit.ly/2HrshPF</a> </li> <li>Australian Forest Products Association - <a href="https://bit.ly/3dMSJiE">https://bit.ly/3dMSJiE</a> </li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
