I AM OFTEN ASKED what a person canactually do to support the work ofAustralian Rotary Health. The answer inmy mind is to get out there and promoteawareness of the fact that AustralianRotary Health is leading the way in mentalhealth research within Australia. The onlyway that treatment, and in fact prevention,of mental health issues among youngAustralians will be improved or achievedis through specifically targeted medical

research. Research costs money, but sadly the community doesnot always recognise the need despite the number of lives lost tosuicide each year rivalling or exceeding the road toll, let alone theeconomic burden of mental health experienced by our entiresociety every day. And every one of us is related to, works with,or knows someone suffering a mental illness. Is it yourworkmate; your brother or sister, your son or daughter; yourprecious grandson or granddaughter; or you? Who will be next?

As individuals, we can make a difference by spreading the wordwithin our Rotary Clubs and within our communities, by supportingthe various awareness activities undertaken by and on behalf ofAustralian Rotary Health throughout each year, and by seeking andmaking donations in support of our research and educationalinitiatives at all times. There is no doubt that the financial supportand commitment of all Australian Rotary Clubs and Rotarians isvital to our ongoing success.

One of the best examples of Rotarians working together to buildawareness and seeking community support was the “Lift the Lid onMental Illness” campaign run throughout Victoria in associationwith Australian Rotary Health Hat Day on 7 October 2016, withthe active support of all Victorian Rotary Districts and RotaryClubs. The success of this campaign arose out of the vision andpassion of Chairman-elect Greg Ross, who succeeded in co-optingthe enthusiastic support of the Herald Sun, 3AW’s Neil Mitchelland Metro Trains Melbourne to get the message out to the Victorianpublic. The Board is looking to expand the Lift the Lid campaignnationally in future in association with Hat Day, which this year isto be held on World Mental Health Day, 10 October 2017.

Another example of community engagement was the MackayMental Health and Wellbeing Fair, held on 8 October 2016 at theMackay Showground, organised by the Combined Rotary Clubs ofMackay and the Mackay Regional Mental Health Network. Over30 stalls were manned by the local mental health service providers

and several thousand people attended the fair on the day. Byorganising this event, District 9570 ARH Chair Mark Lean and theMackay Rotary Clubs have brought together the local mental healthproviders to form a community mental health network for the firsttime.

These are just a few of the many sporting and community eventsheld on behalf of Australian Rotary Health by Rotary Clubsthroughout the country throughout the year, all raising communityawareness of mental health issues within our communities andraising much needed funds for mental health research.

And this year, Australian Rotary Health is launching one of itslargest ever awareness and community engagement events, with the“Muster for Mental Health” Hop-On, Hop-Off tour aroundAustralia, to be run in 12 separate legs over a 12 month period,commencing in July this year. Not only will the Muster provide arelatively relaxed and informal way of seeing Australia with like-minded people in separate, easy stages, but more importantly, theMuster will bring the issue of Mental Health and wellbeing to allregions of Australia, involving all participants, Rotary Clubs andcommunities across Australia in community forums and events tobuild awareness and support for this vital community health issue.

And importantly, the Muster will provide another means ofattending the Rotary Zone 8 Institute in Darwin from 1st to 3rd

Chairman’s Report Continued from cover

Although it’s only the early days of hercareer, we can confidently say we expectgreat things from Dr. StephanieShepheard, an Australian Rotary Health(ARH) funded researcher who has nowcontributed to a world-first breakthroughin Motor Neuron Disease (MND)research.

From 2011-2014, Dr. Shepheard receivedan ARH York Family PhD scholarship toassist with her PhD studies on a proteinidentified in urine, p75ECD, as aprognostic, disease progression andpharmacodynamic biomarker in MND.The research was guided by previousmouse studies that linked the protein toMND progression.

Based on this evidence, Dr. Shepheard,supervisor Dr. Mary-Louise Rogers, andtheir team at Flinders University (SA)tested the urine of human MND patientsover three years, and discovered itcontained higher levels of P75ECD as thedisease progressed. Across the globe, Dr.Michael Benatar and Joanne Wuu from theUniversity of Miami (USA) contributed tothe research by conducting the trial onAmerican MND patients.

Currently, the effectiveness of MND drugsis measured through questionnairesdesigned by a neurologist who adds up ascore based on the patient’s responses.

However, this urine test is deemed theonly biological fluid based biomarker ofMND progression, making it an easilyaccessible, more objective, and accuratemethod of testing.

Although it will not be used to diagnosepatients with MND, there are highhopes the test could be used to study theeffectiveness of current treatments.

“There isn’t a cure or effectivetreatment for MND, butbiomarkers such as P75ECDcan help change this,” Dr.Shepheard said.

“We can measure if p75ECDlevels go up, down, or remainstable when testing potentialtreatments in clinical trials.This would give us informationabout how useful a treatmentmight be, and could speed upthe process of identifyingtreatments.”

The research has received wide mediacoverage recently, since it was published inthe high profile international journal,‘Neurology’. It’s hoped the test will be usedin clinical trials within the next few years.

Today, Dr. Shepheard works on theAMBRoSIA project at the University of

Sheffield (UK), continuing her research onp75ECD and other potential MNDbiomarkers.

Motor Neuron Disease causes the motorneurons or nerve cells that control muscleto slowly die. Every day two Australiansare diagnosed with MND and two peopledie.

AUTUMN 2017

New ARH Projects in 2017 Improving health outcomes and reducingthe burden of disease on Australiansociety continues to be what drives ourwork at Australian Rotary Health(ARH), and we often find we have this incommon with our researchers.

In 2017, ARH pledged more than $2.5million towards research project grants,PhD scholarships and postdoctoralfellowships. This includes 7 mental healthresearch project grants beginning this year,and 10 new Funding Partner PhDscholarships focusing on general healthareas.

Emma Laird and Associate ProfessorHelen O’Connor are two new faces toAustralian Rotary Health, with two verydifferent areas of interest and experience.

Emma Laird, who is completing her PhDat the University of Melbourne, isinterested in exploring how hearing careservices can address the mental health andwellbeing of older adults with hearing loss.

Studies showing hearing loss can beassociated with isolation, low self-esteem,depression, and anxiety, in conjunctionwith audiologists reporting they are ill-equipped to handle these aspects, has ledEmma to believe this area of research islargely underdeveloped.

“Current audiological practice focusesheavily on provision of devices, andadditional services that might address

mental health andwellbeing are rarelyoffered,” Emma said.

“It is important that wecan offer evidence-basedservices to best serve ourpatients.”

This year Emma willbegin her research byinvestigating older adults’views of their mentalwellbeing throughouttheir experience ofhearing care.

While Emma is juststarting out in her field, Helen O’Connoris an Associate Professor at the Universityof Sydney’s Faculty of Health Scienceand has a strong working background innutrition and dietetics.

Australian Rotary Health provided aMental Health Research Grant to Helento evaluate the effectiveness of the‘everyBODY study’ - a program that aimsto support weight loss while consideringthe specific needs of young women withbody image and self-esteem issues.

“Our research team has extensive clinicaland research experience working withyoung women who are actively trying tomanage their weight. We have developedan innovative program tailored to theirspecial needs,” Helen said.

“Many of the weight managementprograms are not tailored for the specificneeds of young women and do notconsider body image and self-esteemissues.”

“In addition to increasing the later riskof health problems, including impairedreproductive health, there is a significantnegative effect of excess weight onmental health.”

Following the study, Helen hopes herteam can take their research further andhave the program disseminated into thecommunity where it can help youngwomen.

We wish Emma and Helen all the best intheir research studies this year.

Taylor-Jai McAlister is an Aboriginalwoman from Nyngan, a small outbacktown in New South Wales. She wasawarded an Indigenous Health Scholarshipfrom Australian Rotary Health in 2016 toundertake studies in Psychology atMacquarie University.

Taylor-Jai is very optimistic about improvingIndigenous mental health, as she workstowards becoming a Clinical Psychologist.To add to her skill set, Taylor-Jai hasenrolled to study Auslan (Australian SignLanguage), hoping these skills will allow herto break the barriers that exist for Indigenousdeaf people who are seeking treatment.

“There is a cultural barrier that exists forIndigenous deaf people who are trying toaccess mental health services, and as anAboriginal woman, I believe that I will beable to connect more people to these servicesdue to my Indigenous heritage and my futurefluency of Auslan,” Taylor-Jai said.

“Deaf people have high rates of mentalillness resulting in suicide, so it is imperativethat mental health services are moreaccessible for this demographic.”So far, Taylor-Jai has gained professionalexperience in the psychology field at Lifelineand the Black Dog Institute. With herstudent peers, Taylor-Jai runs the Bawurra

Foundation, an Indigenous charity that aimsto close the literacy gap within schools.

Earlier this year, the Rotary Club ofParramatta City also sponsored Taylor-Jai toattend RYLA (Rotary Youth LeadershipAward), an experience she will never forget.

ARH UPDATE

Taking on a PhD is a huge commitment,but Jeremy Lum says it’s the little winsthat helped him persevere and like mostpeople, each day starts with coffee.

Jeremy was sponsored by AustralianRotary Health from 2014-2016 to look attargeting a new neurochemical system,glutamate, to treat Schizophrenia. Hepursued this research under the wing of DrKelly Newell at the University ofWollongong (NSW).

After investigating Schizophreniatreatments in his undergraduate Honoursresearch and finding out his childhoodfriend was diagnosed with the mentalillness, Jeremy felt strongly compelled tocontinue work in this area.

“Through this experience, I became moreaware how Schizophrenia affectedindividuals and how devastating the illnesscan be for them and their families,” Jeremysaid.

“I also became conscious of how thecurrent antipsychotics are not effective intreating the symptoms of manyindividuals and the terrible side effects theycan cause.”

Jeremy said the biggest challenge he facedthroughout his PhD was knowing whereto start.

“I was interested in many aspects ofSchizophrenia, that I found it difficult tofocus on one area. However, I was luckyenough to have the great support of mysupervisors and other researchers whowere able to steer me in the rightdirection.”

“The thing that kept me motivated andhelped me persevere was attaining littlewins. Although things might not havealways worked out how we planned, atleast gaining results to move forward wasrewarding.”

While many may visualise a researcherspending most of their working week inthe lab, the reality paints quite a differentpicture.

“I generally like to start the day writing,whether it is manuscripts, grants,scholarships, etc. This is usually followed

with time in the lab preparing experiments,performing experiments, or analysingdata.”

Jeremy said his PhD research has helpedhis team gain a deeper understanding ofhow the use of newer therapeutics canmodulate signalling within the brain.

“I hope through understanding theseaspects of the new targets and therapies,we can build upon the foundation to helpdesign better therapeutics and treatmentstrategies.”

“Australian Rotary Health has been a greatsupport throughout my tenure as a PhDstudent. In addition to the financialbenefit, they have provided me with a widerange of opportunities which I did notexpect.”

“I’ve been able to attend workshops acrossthe country, grant review panels and speakat Rotary Club meetings. Futhermore,attending these events has provided me aplatform to meet with Rotary memberswho support me and our research.”

Although Jeremy still has a fond interest inSchizophrenia research, he has been

fortunate enough to start working with apaediatrician at the Illawarra Health andMedical Research Institute, where hefocuses on the health problems ofpremature babies.

“My new focus of research is tounderstand the molecular changes of theheart and blood vessels that occur whenbabies are born prematurely, in the hope toprovide the information required todevelop new treatments.”

In the future Jeremy also hopes to look atnew therapeutic targets for depression,which shares some overlap withSchizophrenia.

AUTUMN 2017

Australian Rotary Health invites you tojoin the Muster for Mental Health – ourbiggest mental health fundraisingadventure to date!

By now you probably have a few questionsabout the Muster, so we have sat downwith ARH Corporate Manager TerryDavies (the brains behind the operation) totackle some of those queries.

Q: What is the Australian Rotary HealthMuster for Mental Health?A: An initiative that aims to spreadawareness of Australian Youth MentalHealth and Youth Suicide across thecountry. We’ve arranged an itinerarycomprising 12 Drive segments aroundAustralia, connecting as many RotaryClubs as practical. Sadly, all Clubs cannotbe connected on this occasion.

The Muster is a fundraising project andwill attract all forms of media attention.

Q: Why should we join the Muster?A: Because there is no better way to travelthis amazingly varied, beautiful, andinteresting country, than by road and witha purpose. If you have a van or motorhome(or can hire one), if you care about thecountry and its people, if you want to makea difference and know Mental HealthResearch is vital to the future health ofAustralians, then the Muster will be perfectfor you.

Q: What is provided on each Drive?A: For a daily fee of $25, you are providedwith entry to designated Rotary Club

meetings and celebrations, Happy Hourprovisions, additional tours such as toHamilton Island, Yellow Waters,Australian Rotary Health Darwin InstituteDinner and many more.

Q: How do I learn more details andregister?A: Head to the Muster for Mental Healthwebsite: www.muster.org.au

Q: Do we have to be associated with aRotary Club?A: Not at all, anyone is welcome andRotarians are encouraged to invite theirfriends. It’s a great chance for non-Rotarians to learn more about the work ofRotarians and Australian Rotary Health.Visiting so many Rotary Clubs will be oneof many highpoints of your travels. Thefriendliness of Rotary Club meetings isamazing.

Q: Do we need a special caravan orMotorhome?A: Special caravans such as an ‘off road’ or‘semi off road’ are not necessary as theentire route is on sealed roads. Most of theroads we take are highways. Mostmotorhomes prefer bitumen.

Q: Do we need to carry extra fuel?A: Fuel consumption varies with drivingstyle, weight of caravan, head winds andcruising speed. Distances for each day areshown on your itinerary. You should knowyour fuel tank capacity and normal towingdistance it offers. Allowing extra forchallenging conditions is part of yourresponsibility. If in doubt, a 20 litre tank

can offer peace of mind. Your tour guidewill announce at Happy Hour if it isessential to leave with a full tank.

Q: What is Happy Hour?A: Happy Hour is a popular late afternoonsocial part of recreational travel. Somerefreshments and nibbles will be included inyour fees. It is an opportunity to comparetravel notes and highlights, reflect onpurpose, share experiences, and be briefedon aspects of the day ahead. It is notessential to attend but recommended. It willbe held at the indicated stopover location.

Q: Do we need a two-way radio?A: While not essential it is highlyrecommended for several reasons: • A CB radio is not expensive. • It enables you to hear what is going on around you. • It enables you to talk to trucks about passing. • It is fun to be able to share conversations while on route if you are in a group. • It certainly helps if you are lost in a town as local businesses and Police monitor and will offer guidance.

Q: Do I need a satellite phone?A: This is a private security decision. Thereis limited mobile phone service outside oftowns.

Q: Are we driving in a convoy?A: Definitely not. While driving in theoutback, if you can see the van ahead, youare too close. It is disconcerting to manydrivers to have another vehicle closely

ARH UPDATE

following all the time. Some driversinstinctively drive close and they will beencouraged to leave a gap so everyoneenjoys the amazing scenery unaffected by avehicle in the rear-view mirror.

Q: What happens if I get a puncture?A: Find a place to safely pull right off thebitumen. Announce on CB your puncture.Others will often assist you. You must bevery aware of the danger of your off-roadsituation. Trucks travel at or near speedlimit in both directions and may pass besideyou so be very aware of any protrusionsonto the carriageway. Stay very calm andalert.

Q: Are the big transports scary?A: They are big, heavy, and powerful. Theyare driven by professional drivers who arealert to caravan circumstances. Most driversare polite and courteous and helpful butthey do depend on you doing the rightthing. This includes not speeding up inpassing lanes, travelling close to each otherso they have twice as far to travel past thepair of you. They are patient and they knowthe road. Easing up slightly when they

move to pass is appreciated and they willtalk on radio to you.

Q: Do we all have to set off together?A: Not at all. Some may leave very early sothey can spend more time at interest spotsalong the way. Some may sleep in thenhave coffee before breaking camp andsetting off. Typically people will decide ifthey wish to go off alone or in small groupsbut there are no requirements relating tostarting time.

Q: How dangerous are wildlife on theroad?A: The degree of danger from wildlife onor crossing the road is a great talking point.Certainly the danger increases dramaticallyas your speed increases. If you are drivingat or just below speed limit and you arealert you will sense potential threats andease up. Roos will sit on the side of theverge then suddenly for no apparent reasonhead across the road in front of you. Beaware and cautious. Road kill frequencywill warn you of the worst areas but allareas are prone. Eagles love fresh road killand are very slow to work out you can’t go

round them. Be very wary of eagles. Slowright down if safe to do so and try forphotos by your co-pilot.

Q: How will we know where Rotary Clubmeetings or community forums arescheduled and located?A: You will be provided with news updatesfrom the Muster website. Announcementsat Happy Hour gatherings will be madelooking forward.

Q: Who makes my overnight bookingarrangements?A: You do. The preferred Caravan Park isnoted on the itinerary. It is where thesupport team will be located. It is whereHappy Hour will be. But you are to makeyour own booking arrangements at any siteyou wish. Please note that in some remoteregions there may be little choice and youmay be inclined to Freedom Camp. Thisoffers you maximum options or the securityof being with the support team.

Q: How do I learn more details andregister?A: Go to: www.muster.org.au
