Climate change is having an ever-increasing impact on the healthcare system and we only have a limited amount of time to make a significant change to try and avoid the consequences of climate change.

Dr Adam Shanley and Dr Lauren Kromoloff have decided to take direct action and are advocating other health practitioners to do the same.

“Give a Damn, Give a Day” is an initiative created by Adam and Lauren to encourage doctors to contribute financially to the fight against climate change by donating a portion of their earned income while completing locum work to charities that target these issues. 

In support of this initiative 1Medical will be also donating a proportion of our agency fees.

Donations will be tax deductible and can be made directly from pre-tax income meaning you do not have to wait until the EOFY to claim the offset.

By engaging in locum work via the “Give a Damn, Give a Day” initiative you can support a health service in need, earn income for yourself and assist directly with the fight on climate change.

Locum work is an essential part of the healthcare system with many places only able to continue services by having locum doctors compliment their permanent workforce.
