Your guide to giving life
8 FIND CASEY | SEPTEMBER 2022 findcasey.com.au
But so you know what to expect, here’s a walk-through of what’s involved:
Donated blood can be used in many life-giving ways. The person receiving it could have cancer, be going through a difficult pregnancy, or they could be someone who relies on regular transfusions to live a healthy, happy life — or even to live.
There are some cases where we may have to re-schedule. Like, if you take certain medication, you’re pregnant, you’ve travelled recently, you’ve had dental treatment in the last week, or you’ve had a tattoo in the past 4 months. However, if the tattoo was done on licensed or regulated premises in Australia (like a commercial tattoo parlour or a cosmetic clinic) and is healing well, you can book in to donate plasma instead.
Can I donate?
After you’ve left the donor centre
For the next 2 hours:
4. You’ll be with us for about an hour, but the actual giving process takes just 15 minutes (sometimes less!). Our team will be on hand to help the whole way through, so if you’re feeling unwell or uncomfortable, let someone know straight away.
Don’t worry, you’re in safe hands.
3. You’ll then have a private, confidential interview with a trained staff member and we’ll check your haemoglobin level (a protein that carries oxygen around your body and contains iron) and take your blood pressure. If it’s your first time donating, we’ll also ask for your height and weight.
1. When you arrive, you’ll need to complete our Donor Questionnaire. It’s totally confidential and designed to protect you and the person who receives your blood.
2. Before we get going, you’ll be asked to have two more glasses of water and we’ll give you some information on easy muscle tensing exercises that can help stop you feeling faint during your donation.
An introduction to blood donation
• you’ve completed the Donor Questionnaire and met any eligibility criteria, and you’ve been assessed at the blood donor centre (we’ll check you have suitable veins and haemoglobin levels).

introduced mandatory 3 per cent contributions (or 4 per cent for employers where their payroll was above $1 million) into an employee’s superannuation fund. In the early days, the employer would set up the superannuation fund on behalf of the employee, whereas now the employee can choose their own superannuation fund and provide that information to the employer. The employer ‘must’ place the SGC into the employee’s superannuation fund if the employee so directs.
Most employers choose to remit the SGC on a quarterly basis when they do their BAS however some employers will pay it monthly or even fortnightly.

the rules around SGC were made a little simpler, with most employees able to receive it.
Currently the SG rate is 10.5% and increasing over time until it reaches 12%. SG payments is paid as a percentage of an employee’s salary and wages or ordinary time earnings (OTE). Ordinary time earnings (OTE) is the amount your employees earn for their ordinary hours of work. It generally includes leave (annual, sick or long service), commissions, allowances and shift loadings, but doesn’t include overtime payments.

I get regular calls from people who are in the process of starting a new business. Many are after a “ball-park” figure for insurance costs so they can flesh out a business plan and budget for outgoings. No matter how the conversation starts, the outcome is largely dependent on the quality of the information provided by the client, and this can be… to put it politely, “a little thin” at times.
By CraigGENERALAnderson INSURANCE
Be Patient. Often insurers and their underwriters are overwhelmed with the volume of inquiry, so be prepared to wait for a quality answer to come back. Speed doesn’t always equate to efficiency or deliver accuracy. Not everything can be done using online quoting tools, and this is particularly the case for complex risks. So perhaps start your research well before you quit your job to allow ample time to get it right.
Tell Us About Future Plans. The selection of insurers may depend on whether they can accommodate all of the required cover sections. A Business Pack PL (Public Liability) Policy may be more appropriate than a stand-alone PL policy if—in a couple of months—you might need to add contents, business interruption, and machinery breakdown cover sections for example. You may need a stand-alone PL Policy if your activity is “non-preferred” by Business Pack Policy Insurers. Your broker might have to place you with a specialty underwriter who understands that specific occupation. It’s better to know from the start what you plan on doing later, so a flexible insurance programme can be put in place.
Consider Advice. We understand no one has an unlimited budget, but don’t cut corners that may put you out of business before you’re off the ground. For example, If you handle and store people’s details like phone numbers, names and addresses, you need cyber protection for yourself. If employing people, you may need Management Liability Insurance, if you give advice, you may need Professional Indemnity and so on. Take the time to familiarise yourself with the risks, so you aren’t taken by surprise, and so you can write a realistic budget. Deciding in advance you need the “bare minimum” may be a costly financial error.
Read All of the Paperwork. When we ask you to read through and confirm the details are correct, you must check! Once a quote turns into a policy, this is a legal contract between you and the insurer. If you fail to read it, and later have an issue caused by a failure to correct your answers, it’s too late once a claim has occurred. Read the Schedule and read the PDS. Ask your broker questions, as the answers could make a big difference to the cover selected, and to how you manage risk within your business.
To maximise your chances of getting a fair and accurate insurance quote:
may take out an entirely worthless policy when you go ahead. Again, facts have to be right from the beginning.
prepared without taking into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Because of that, before acting on the above advice, you should consider its appropriateness (having regard to your objectives,needs and financial situation).
Be Qualified. I can’t tell you how many times people have been unaware of the qualifications, licenses, registrations, or tickets which are essential not only to do the job they plan to do, but to convince the insurer they are a “good risk”. This is particularly the case if we are trying to get you Professional Indemnity cover. Best to do your research before telling the boss you’re leaving. We can’t insure the uninsurable.
Clearly Define your Activities. If you describe yourself as a “glazier” but forget to tell us you are abseiling from the 40th floor to replace windows in a multi-storey office block, the insurer will incorrectly rate you and will decline any claims. Remember to describe and disclose your activities properly. We can’t provide accurate quotes without a correct description. An inaccurate quote could lead a worthless policy if care is not taken at this stage.
Provide Correct ABN and Trading Name. One fellow—insured with a direct insurer—had insured another company (not his own) with similar spelling for 6 years before realising that it was wrong from the very beginning. Details do matter. Double check this, otherwise you

The importance of providing a mother and baby with immediate skin to skin contact for at least an hour after birth is now being recognised. Changes in medical practice now encourage this continuous skin to skin contact beginning immediately after birth, without delay or interruption for routine procedures, and continuing though the first breastfeed. This practice has been shown to improve self-regulation of the baby and increase the likelihood of breastfeeding success.
This usually begins about an hour or so after birth. If the mother has had anaesthesia during labour, it may take a while longer for baby to complete these stages.
About 3 minutes after birth, the baby starts to make small movements of the head and shoulders. She is no longer tightly confined inside her mother, and is free to stretch and experience the open space around her.

Don’t try to help her latch – she is not ready just yet. Her tongue is flat and high in the roof of his mouth, whereas just prior to self-attaching, she will drop her tongue and while opening her mouth wide for a deep and effective latch. Be on baby time, not on hospital or doctor or nurse time.
9 Stages Of BehaviourNewborn
Swedish researcher Ann-Marie Widstrom has shown that there are nine observable newborn stages that occur in the first hour or two after birth when a baby is placed immediately skin to skin with his mother. These are instinctive to the baby and occur in a sequential order.
Stage 8 – The newborn takes the nipple, self-attaches and suckles

Stage 3 – Awakening
Baby “crawls” towards the breast and nipples. She will make her way there using sliding, pushing, leaping and crawling movements until she reaches her target. These are short periods of action usually starting around 35 minutes after birth.
Baby becomes acquainted with the nipple by licking the nipple and touching and massaging the breast. This stage begins about 45 minutes after birth and can last 20 minutes or more. Baby starts making sounds to get mums attention. She looks at the other people in the room, familiarising himself with her new environment. Baby’s movements are quite purposeful.

The baby may have periods of rest between these early activity during the first couple of hours after birth. This resting time does NOT mean baby is disinterested in the breast and needs help latching. Don’t intervene. Just let her be and she will continue in her own time. Don’t rush her. Enjoy this time together.
The baby and often mum too will fall into a beautiful restful sleep together.
The distinctive cry occurs immediately after birth as the baby’s lungs expand and fill with air for the very first time. This is a wonderful sound to the parents ears and confirms their baby is alive and well!

Similarly to with teenage acne, excess androgens are a major culprit in contributing to hyperproliferation of prostate tissue. This enlargement of the prostate gland also leads to BPH and prostate cancer. Once again Saw palmetto is an important herb in regulating androgen levels, and additional benefits have been found when used in combination with Urtica dioica (stinging nettle).
BPH is increasingly common in men as they age and is estimated to be present in 70% of men over the age of 70. Due to hyperproliferation (excess growth) of prostate tissue, the enlargement of the prostate gland obstructs urinary flow, resulting in poor urinary flow, increased urgency, and incontinence.
Androgens are a group of hormones of which testosterone (the predominant male reproductive hormone) is the most common. Testosterone levels increase for young men in their late teens, and the excess androgens contribute to acne. The sebaceous glands which secrete oil onto the skin, produce androgens, along with other glands, and in excess are converted to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone which promotes acne. Research has found herbs such as Serenoa repens (Saw palmetto) effective in treating hormonal acne, especially when combined with other androgen regulating herbs is. As a naturopath, I would also address elimination of waste products, inflammation, the liver (as detailed below) and any other factors contributing to the acne.

Naturopathic treatment of hormonal imbalance often includes strengthening and detoxifying the liver. The liver is where hormones are metabolised, are transformed into different forms, and excess hormones are removed from circulation. If the liver is not functioning well, this process will be impaired. Prescription drugs, alcohol, exposure to toxins, and poor diet all contribute to reduced liver function. Herbal medicine is highly effective in improving the liver, but below are some tips to get you started.

2022 TAX
Downsizer contributions have been available to members of complying superannuation funds since 1 July 2018. From that date, a person aged 65 years or older has been able to make a contribution up to $300,000 from the proceeds of selling their main residence. A legislative amendment originally from the 2021 Federal Budget reduced the age limit from 65 to 60 from 1 July 2022. Further, another legislative amendment has been issued by the new government in August 2022 to reduce the age limit again from 60 to 55. The change will not come into effect until after the new Bill receives royal assent. To be eligible to make a downsizer contribution, an individual must have owned their main residence for at least 10 years. It is available to both members of a couple for the same home, even if only one is on the title deed.
Self-education removal of deduction limitation
Currently, a self-education deduction is limited to costs above $250 each income year. This limitation, known as the s 82A limitation, will be repealed from the tax laws. This requires legislative approval.
The announcement is somewhat related to a Treasury discussion paper released in December 2020. However, other matters addressed in the paper, such as deductions for expenses unrelated to current employment, have not been taken further at this stage.
Downsizer contributions to superannuation
In the 2021 federal budget, it was announced that the AAT would be empowered to pause or modify ATO debt recovery action until the underlying dispute is resolved.
The exemption provides a viable option for employees to reduce their tax bill by salary packaging.
Currently, small businesses are required to go through the court system to pause or modify ATO debt recovery action. Taxpayers are otherwise required to pay disputed tax liabilities by the due date or enter into a 50/50 arrangement with the ATO to defer recovery action.
Small businesses (aggregated turnover less than $10 million) will be able to apply to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) to pause or modify ATO debt recovery action for debts being disputed in the AAT.
Downsizer contributions are in addition to existing rules and caps and are exempt from the: age test, and $1.7 million total superannuation balance test for making non-concessional contributions.
An employer who provides an employee with an electric vehicle will not be liable for fringe benefits tax on the employee’s private use. The new legislation comes into effect for electric vehicle first held by employers on or after 1 July 2022. To be eligible for the exemption, the electric vehicle must be below the luxury car limit, which is currently sitting at $84,916.
Electric vehicles to be exempt from FBT
Individuals may soon have the ability to claim a higher deduction for self-education expenses from the 2022–23 income year. New legislation has been tabled into parliament following the original announcement by the former government in the 2021 Federal Budget.
