When journalist Luke Dennehy, who interviewed George Calombaris for this week’s cover profile, told me the prominent chef, restaurateur and MasterChef judge wanted his legacy to be a program that improves and nurtures mental health in the often brutally demanding hospitality industry, I felt there could be no better instigator of that positive change.

COVER STORY
I
n the packed, loud Hellenic Republic restaurant in Brighton, you can see the relief on George Calombaris’ face. Once again he is smiling, and happy to be back working the tools in the kitchen of the restaurant he owns, after what many have described as a year from hell. Last year the boy from Mulgrave, who worked his way to the top in the worlds of restaurants and television, saw one thing after another go wrong. The 39-year-old endured a high-profile court battle, eventually winning an appeal againt a conviction for an assault, following an incident at 2017’s A-League grand final. Despite winning the appeal earlier this year (the judge said the matter had been proven but he was “a person of exceptional character”), Calombaris told the court that the “brain freeze” ended up costing him $750,000. He lost ambassadorships with Bulla Dairy and ULR Land Rover, as well as its huge emotional toll.
family around me, and friends and colleagues and people that work for me, who have been my absolute backbone through it all.” He knows from experience that hospitality is a relentless business. After such an emotional year, Calombaris is determined to improve mental health within the hospitality industry, something he believes has been overlooked for too long. He wants this to be his legacy. “I want to start shaping a program and a place for people in the hospitality industry to have support in terms of their mental health,” Calombaris says. “We are the biggest industry in the country, and I’m not saying we get treated like second-rate citizens, but there is not enough support for people. “I want people to have the opportunity to be able to go to someone, to say ‘I’m finding it tough’, and what can we do to make it better and deal with it.”
Never get on the wrong side of an established Toorak lady on a mission. Her complaints made national news. One of the reasons this year is so much better than last for Calombaris has to do with the incredible reception the 10th series of MasterChef Australia has recieved, both from critics and viewers. The show has made unlikely stars of himself, Matt Preston and Gary Mehigan, with the three judges and co-hosts having the kind of on-air chemistry television executives can only dream of. This year they raised the bar – Prince Charles was a special guest on the show, part of a challenge filmed in Darwin for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Meeting British royalty is not bad for a man who went to school at Mazenod College, and who admits that he wasn’t the most well-behaved student. “He was just so wonderful,” Calombaris says of Prince Charles.
“I want ... people in the hospitality industry to have support in terms of their mental health.” It was also revealed that the company he built from scratch, Made Establishment – which he now owns along with Swisse vitamins founder Radek Sali and former Goldman Sachs executive Adam Gregory – underpaid 162 staff by $2.6 million. The company has repaid the staff and, looking back, Calombaris is adamant he has learnt from what was an incredibly tough year. He is not hiding from what happened. Calombaris has since employed a full-time cultural manager to look after the company’s staff – for when they are at work, and even when they are not. “I feel relieved, I’m not going to lie to you,” he tells Domain Review, as waiters bustled around his busy Brighton restaurant. “It was a tough year and without rehashing it all, and opening up that box again, it’s still good to not forget what happened, learn from your past, and dust yourself off and pick yourself up again. “I’m very lucky that I’ve got amazing
W
ould he encourage his children to get into the hospitality business? Living in Toorak with his partner, Natalie Tricarico, and their youngsters James, 6, and Michaela, 5, Calombaris is insistent on teaching his kids that life is about working hard, and learning from your mistakes. Son James has recently started to do the restaurant rounds with his dad, and loves every minute. “I would recommend to them to never stop dreaming,” Calombaris says. “Dream daily, and understand if you don’t take risks in life, the rewards aren’t going to feel so good. You want to take risks, and I have. I can say hand on my heart I wouldn’t change anything that has happened. I know the mistakes I have made, and I have learnt from them.” He can look back philosophically and not get too worked up about the huge publicity his neighbour recently generated, after she complained about a gym he had constructed in the backyard.

“He had a real calm presence; he was just a lovely bloke.” It was a real pinch-me moment for Calombaris. “When the royal wedding was on, I got home that night from work, sat on the couch, and the kids were still up,” he says. “I’m watching Prince Charles, and James, my son, goes ‘Dad, that’s the man you film with’. I’m like, ‘Yes, I did!’ “There are some moments you will never forget, when I’m finding it tough. “I have to remind myself how lucky I am; that was just awesome.” With things now on the right track, Calombaris is looking forward to the future, and that may one day include expanding on his four Hellenic Republic restaurants around the city. “It was always dicey to go and open up another venue, after the year I had personally last year,” he says. “You ask yourself the question, in all honesty, ‘Do people still like George?’ “What I’ve learnt, people may or may not like me, but they like what we do.” ●

hen tracks from British super-producers Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman ruled the airwaves in Australia the mid to late ’80s, the record chain Brashs was a dominant retail force. It was also a time when Barry Bissell’s Take 40 Australia was the country’s most popular syndicated radio show, and Rage on the ABC on a Saturday was must-watch TV. Collecting the Coca-Cola ARIA chart each week from Brashs, on paper – the internet wasn’t around then – was the thing to do. For all-round entertainer Tim Campbell, 42, those days and the music of Stock, Aitken and Waterman – anything from Kylie Minogue, Bananarama, Mel and Kim, and Rick Astley – had a profound impact on him. So much so, Campbell has released an album called Electrifying 80s – Stock, Aitken and Waterman (his second album of covers). Growing up in the Sydney suburb of Campbelltown, Campbell, like

many, wasn’t open about his love of a Kylie or Bananarama track. “I didn’t mind a band like Bon Jovi, but friends of mine were really into the dark, heavy metal bands like Metallica, and that kind of stuff,” he says. “I was secretly listening to Stock, Aitken and Waterman and all the pop music.” Initially, music wasn’t what made Campbell a household name in Australia. It was his role as Dan Baker in Home and Away from 2004 to 2008 that gave him his big break. He has had high-profile acting gigs since, including two years, in 2012 and 2013, on House Husbands, opposite Gyton Grantley as Australia’s first openly gay couple on television. In real life Campbell is married to singer Anthony Callea. Away from the screen, Campbell and his band are one of Australia’s most in-demand corporate acts, playing to thousands of people every week across the country. He is proud of playing the hits of the ’80s, and not writing original music. Campbell knows what he is
good at, and very good he is. “To be honest, I don’t have a passion for that,” he says of writing original music. “I’m unapologetic about that. Maybe it’s the entertainer in me. “I love to fill a dance floor at the end of the night. I would never say never, but I would probably write a TV script before I would write a song, to be honest. I’m just happy to do the ’80s covers, because they work.” If he had to pick a favourite Stock, Aitken and Waterman track, Bananarama’s pop classic, I Want You Back would come close. Campbell describes the song, with one of the best chorus hooks of the decade, as a tragic love song that was a joy to rework. Campbell has created this album on his own, starting his label Encore Records – and that’s the way he likes it. “Doing it this way I have total control,” he says. ●

uly takes me to India. Mumbai truly is a city that doesn’t sleep. If I could sum up Mumbai in one word, it would have to be electrifying. The food is sensory overload. I was so blown away by the variety of produce and spices. I spent two hours in a spice shop and got lost in the textile market. I am very honoured to have been asked to design the menu for the first ever wine-ontap restaurant – Wine Villa – in the heart of Juhu beach, at the newly refurbished Horizon Hotel, which will open at the end of July. One of the recipes I’ve curated for Wine Villa villa is a modern version of tandoori chicken with mint yoghurt and picked onions. This dish will ignite all the senses. The slight hint of spice from the chicken paired with the cool mint yoghurt makes this a dinner party favourite. Pair with a crisp and buttery chardonnay. If you fancy a visit to Wine Villa, follow @wine_villa on Instagram. ●

he birth of a well-conceived restaurant bar is always reason for rejoicing. A restaurant bar is more than just an adjunct to the main dining event. It reinterprets the kitchen ethos in cocktail form and becomes a destination on its own. Scott Pickett (ESP, Estelle, Saint Crispin) recently opened his first southside restaurant Matilda, named after his daughter. In the interests of family harmony, he’s included an excellent basement bar to the mix and called it Oscar’s, after his son. Oscar’s has joined the ranks of Melbourne’s wellconceived restaurant bars. Reached via lift or theatrically lit stairs, Oscar’s mirrors the ’70s-channelling timber, brick and leather decor of the upstairs restaurant, including the feature scalloped ochre roof.

There’s a wide timber bar, extremely comfortable leather-upholstered bar stools, flattering lighting and cocktail and snack lists that tap into the earthy, smoky vibe of Matilda’s kitchen, with its wood-fired grills and ovens. Matilda’s beverage manager and sommelier Clint Fox says that the philosophy of the bar was to tie in the same elements that were important upstairs: smoky flavours, sustainability, an interest in indigenous ingredients and locally produced products. This is happening in two ways. First, with the use of fiery or smoky booze such as Canadian maple whisky, Laphroaig scotch or fino sherry; and second, by using ingredients from the kitchen in the cocktails, like adding the fermented capsicum that normally accompanies Matilda’s kangaroo tartare to

With offices and residential developments popping up all over Melbourne with gyms and wellness centres in them, there has definitely been an awakening in the corporate wellness space.

chained to your desk can make you drowsy and unproductive, and might be the reason that you’re experiencing some back or neck pain. Take three minutes every hour to stand up, stretch and move. ARE YOU GETTING FRESH AIR AND VITAMIN D?
Aim to get outside for at least 15 minutes during the day. Going for a quick walk can instantly clear your mind – just try to leave your phone at your desk. ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH Z’S? When it comes
to sleep, I’m always saying that seven hours a night is the magic number. Try to hit the sweet spot by
avoiding hitting the hay too late, but also not getting in bed too early – this can lead to a night of tossing and turning. If seven hours is beyond what you currently get, the important thing is to slowly but surely work towards it. Trust me, with a new baby I’m understanding just how hard this is to achieve!

to get to the bottom of those dreaded daily 3pm headaches and bleary eyes? Take a look at your screen time situation and ask if you are spending more time in front of the screen than you have to. Take any opportunity you can to go old-school and ditch the desktop for a notepad.
IS COFFEE YOUR LIFELINE? Remember that
too many takeaway coffees a day may not only be damaging to your wallet but your waistline, too. Try to limit yourself to two a day (preferably in the morning) and then switch to tea. ARE YOU ISOLATED OR A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY?
Some of us flourish in group environments, others can only be productive with a bit of peace and quiet. Find your happy medium but remember the advantages of connecting with colleagues.
DO YOU NEED TO STRESS LESS? It’s important
to learn the difference between good stress (the type that motivates you to achieve) versus bad stress (the overwhelming type that gets in the way of your day-to-day). Don’t ignore bad stress in your life. Meditation is a great way to handle stress, and can do wonders to ease your mind and increase productivity throughout the day. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

he only constant in life is change, so the saying goes, and change is certainly what happens throughout every child’s school years from early learning through to university. These changes, or educational transitions, start from the time a child is born – constantly learning through observing, exploring, listening and experimenting in the world around them. As many educational experts and schools agree, these transitions through school are an important part of growing up. And while it can be an exciting time, it can also be a stressful one. As well as the natural nerves that students will have about new beginnings, for parents there can be many worries about how their child will adjust during the pivotal moments in education through the early, middle and senior years.

bring up a child in a positive environment.” Parenting experts the Raising Children Network adds that parents have a major role in setting up a positive attitude towards schooling. “Even if you think you don’t know much about learning and teaching, you are your child’s first teacher. Your child keeps learning from you over the years,” the organisation’s website states. The director of Yarra Valley Grammar’s Early Learning Centre Nicky Callow says preparation can mean an easier transition into prep. “Children that can demonstrate confidence, sharing and turntaking, patience and ability to listen to others, minor conflict resolution, good concentration, independence skills, recognising names and belongings and good toileting and hygiene habits are well on the way to making a seamless transition to more formal learning. We refer to these as social/ emotional skills,” Callow says. Victoria University senior lecturer and coordinator of the Master of Education, Dr Zali Yager, agrees. Not only is she an educational expert, but

I think just being in the education space and hearing a lot of the conversations that were happening at the time, there is (advice) for parents that comes to mind. “The main one is to focus on social and emotional skills when going to school. Young students don’t have to know how to read before they go to school, but focussing on their social and emotional skills is something that you can do at home and something that will benefit them when they start at school. “We did a program that was run through the uni (through the psychology department) … so they were able to learn how to make friends, how to deal with problems and how to regulate their emotions prior to going into the school setting.” ●

levels have become a major focus of schools across Australia, particularly recently where it has become part of the conversation around student wellbeing. It has led to some of Melbourne’s leading independent schools bringing in campuses for year levels including early learning, middle and senior years, and programs to introduce students to primary and secondary school to make the journey easier. One such school is Yarra Valley Grammar in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs which caters for children from early learning to year 12. The school works closely with students and their parents throughout their early, middle and senior years. The deputy principal – head of junior school Chris Lawson says the first transition to learning starts at home and advises parents to help their children adopt a positive attitude towards education. “Firstly and most importantly, it needs to be stressed that the first learning environment that any child is exposed to is in their home,” Lawson says. “Parents are their child’s first teachers and it is important to

any people would remember their first day of secondary school. The nerves and excitement, finding new friends (or reconnecting with old ones) and the simple tasks of learning where your bag locker is and who your new teachers will be all come to mind. It seems these same challenges can cause an anxious start for students in year 7. But the way schools are tackling the transition for students is changing. Yarra Valley Grammar’s deputy principal – head of middle school Julie Hall says there are a few common concerns. “Making new friends, getting lost in a big school, homework and lockers are the big four concerns,” Hall says. “It’s important we listen to what they’re telling us so we can put strategies in place to allay those fears.” Victoria University’s Dr Ligia Pelosi, who is the course chair for the Bachelor of Education and who also worked as a teacher, says schools are focusing
more on the “middle years” – years 5 to 8 – to ensure a smoother transition to secondary school. “We have a lot more P-9 schools because of the understanding of year 5 to year 8 is like the middle years leading into year 9,” Pelosi says. She says schools, like independent schools who cater to children through primary and secondary school, are able to work closely with the middle years making the transition less confusing. “It makes those students in years 4 and 5 feel like they’re moving into the more senior years rather than starting at a whole new school,” Pelosi says. Mentone Grammar in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs works both with local schools and students within the school (from ELC onwards) to ensure a more stress free start to secondary school. Deputy principal (operations) Jarrod O’Neill says the school has a year 7 coordinator who works with students inside and outside of Mentone Grammar.

questions and, most importantly, meet each other. “Parents find it very useful to have opportunities to ask questions about the everyday details of school life from other parents. We invite transitioning families to information evenings, year-level specific social events like the year 7 picnic at our Shoreham Beachside Camp and wider school functions – even before they have commenced at our school.” Pelosi says building this relationship between students and teachers is an important one to help students transition to secondary school. “[Good relationships and getting to know the students] is something we encourage in year 4 of the B Ed,” she says. “It’s important for the students, so the students understand how the school can support them through activities such as debating groups, music groups, and are made aware of the different things they can become involved in and form those stronger relationships with teachers and other students as well. “Number one it’s about their wellbeing. If they’re happy at school then everything else falls into place.” ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

“Our year 7 coordinator visits students at their local primary schools so they can establish a relationship before their first day,” O’Neill says. “They also have a Transition Day where all the soon-to-be year 7 students get together for team building, games and to establish their goals for the approaching year. This includes a session in their classroom where they familiarise themselves with the space and meet their teacher. “In the year before they commence secondary school, all existing and new students who will be in year 7 in the following year attend a pinning ceremony, where together they are ‘pinned’ with their graduation year eg, Class of 2024. This special and symbolic occasion bonds the cohort together for their journey into the senior years.” The school also works closely with parents. “The key to students and their families feeling supported, relaxed and confident about the transition into the next phase of their schooling is personal connections,” he says. “We provide many opportunities for new families to be on campus, get to know our staff, ask

EDUCATION & INNOVATION
Life beyond school
T
he senior years of school are filled with dreams and decisions for students looking to take on life beyond the school gates. From year 10, students start preparing for their future, dreaming about finishing up at secondary school and taking on the next steps towards the rest of their lives. They make decisions about the subjects they’ll study, the university degrees they’ll tackle and ultimately the career they’ll build. And most importantly they work towards becoming more independent – academically, financially and socially from their parents. In Melbourne, the way schools are approaching these transitions into the senior years is changing. Some schools are offering not only the VCE but the International Baccalaureate program for year 11s and 12s, meaning different approaches to exams and study. Others are taking a more “university” style approach for senior students, requiring them
to take more control of their class schedules, study times and extracurricular activities. They’re also focusing on teaching skills that are transferable in work life such as communication, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. MLC, in Melbourne’s inner suburbs, works closely with students to prepare them for their final years, and offers support including careers counselling and mentoring from alumnae. They also work with parents. MLC’s head of senior school Anne Wallington says the school wants to help students make the right decision for their future career paths and parents to understand what the ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) is. “When students come into senior school, it’s a different structure from middle school,” Wallington says. “It’s making sure everyone is comfortable with their student moving into senior school and how it operates, who the key

subject in a four-week block, faster and more intensely,” Yager says. Yager says the move has helped students trying to balance studying multiple subjects at once with a job and other commitments to focus. She says the change has been a significant one, leading to more successful completions of first year. While Victoria University is balancing education with real life, Australian National University is now asking university applicants to have the required ATAR, and lifeskills meaning a different type of preparation for some students in their senior years. From 2020, students will be asked to meet a threshold for skills such as community engagement (community service), leadership, sport, volunteering and part time work as part of a new admissions system. In May, deputy vice-chancellor (academic) Professor Marnie Hughes Warrington said ANU wanted to know more about prospective students. “Applicants will be recognised for a range for skills, ranging from communication, to personal responsibility, teamwork, inclusiveness and critical thinking.” ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

people are. The older students have more responsibility for themselves, so they’re able to manage their time more. They have spare periods for the first time which is fabulous, and part of that is learning how to use those spare periods effectively. Most students adjust really quickly. It’s part of moving into that ‘adult mode’ of learning, though of course still supported. “They also start to develop a more adult, collaborative working relationship with their teachers; we expect them to work with their teachers one-on-one about what their strengths are, what they might need help with and their goals.” While these types of changes to the educational approach have been happening at a secondary school level, similar changes have been happening at universities. Victoria University senior lecturer and co-ordinator of the Master of Education Dr Zali Yager says VU is taking a new approach in the way first-year students are tackling their degrees. This year, the university started using the “block model,” moving away from students studying four subjects at the same time. “So ... they learn one

Nothing can disturb the equilibrium of Albert Park, except perhaps a (totally unlikely) tsunami. Even house prices – up 0.4 per cent in the March quarter – show all is steady in the blue-ribbon neighbourhood between the bay and the lake. If Albert Park’s greatest unsung quality is balance, this house is its perfect microcosm. Victorian lace mixes with cutting-edge chic, ceiling roses with dramatic skylights, the cosy interior with a courtyard garden and a rooftop deck with a city view. There’s also the thrill of nestling down in peace while having cafes and transport just steps from the white picket fence. The row-house was largely rebuilt about five years ago and is now family-sized and friendly. Spotted gum floorboards, marble bathrooms and a Mieleequipped kitchen lead the list of lustrous upgrades. The key to its success is the first-floor, main bedroom suite, which lifts the grown-ups up and away from the kids and gives them a well-concealed private deck. The house presents an enchantingly pretty face, with a tessellated tiled porch below iron lacework. Two Victorian double bedrooms off the arched hall have fireplaces; the second has a wardrobe and opens to a lightwell deck. A black and white free-standing tub takes pride of place in the bathroom, which also has a walk-in glass shower. At the hall’s end, turn right to the kitchen, which has marble benches and Bosch and Miele appliances. The dining and living area – 12 metres of glossy spotted gum below skylights – has a gas log fireplace flanked by

main bedroom’s lovely seclusion. Step through the walk-in wardrobe to the en suite, sleek in marble with a shower, twin basins and concealed laundry.

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says. A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.” No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
