In Tasmania, kids with ADHD or autism face long waits for assessment, late diagnoses, or sometimes slip through the cracks entirely. In regional Tasmania, the situation is even more acute. Recently, a team at the University of Tasmania has been working to change that, through radical collaboration. In this episode, we speak to Baxter Adams from the University Psychology Clinic - about how the clinic breaks through institutional barriers to help populations in need, while training the next generation of clinicians.

In just two years workers compensation claims for teachers in Tasmania jumped, they rose from 198 in 2023 to 249 in 2025.

Included in that figure is a huge increase in psychological injury claims and an increase too in physical injuries.

On this week's episode of iHeart Tassie, we speak to a Tasmanian teacher who's been in the job for 25 years.

Peta Maree Revell-Cook, who is also a part of the Australian Education Union, has shared her experience about the complex issue of school violence, including a situation that nearly made her quit, as her family watched her go from happy and resilient to barely coping.
