For this special episode of the EMEA Recruitment podcast, to mark one year of our partnership with Operation Smile, we were joined by Dr. Lara Watson and Dr. Priya Chadha, surgical trainees in maxillofacial and plastic surgery respectively, Founders of Acquisition Aesthetics, and Business Ambassadors for Operation Smile.  “We agreed that our collective ambition was to try and support smiles.” Paul Toms spoke to Lara and Priya amongst their incredibly busy schedules. Lara, for instance, joined us from the Churchill Hospital in Oxford, the UK, where she treats patients with head and neck cancer. But it's our relationship with Operation Smile that connected Lara and Priya with Paul. Lara explains how both her and Priya's careers have paralleled each other's, due to their shared interests and ambitions. Around seven years ago, they set up Acquisition Aesthetics together, a training academy in aesthetics medicine. For them, it's the perfect balance between the function of science and the artistry of beauty.  Last year, Operation Smile reached out to them, highlighting the synergy between Lara and Priya's work in aesthetic medicine with the mission of the charity. Although aesthetics can often be confused with putting on a mask, Lara believes that deformity can take a person's sense of identity away from them, but she feels she gives back to the patient a face that they feel is theirs. They jumped at the opportunity to unite with Operation Smile, to raise awareness amongst healthcare professionals and their customers.  Lara quickly knew that surgery was the route for her. In head and neck surgery, she has found that the correction of deformity and restoration of function is limitless, and aesthetics is a “huge part of that”. She takes pride in her work and the impact it can have on someone's confidence; seeing a patient's response never gets boring. While it's a hugely rewarding career, Paul asks Priya to explain the business model of Acquisition Aesthetics. Their initial idea has bloomed into something that neither Lara nor Priya expected; they were recently awarded the Best Training Academy of the Year prize at the Aesthetics Awards 2021. But they're not businesspeople interested in the largest profits. In fact, their business model hasn't always worked financially.  However, providing a learning platform delivered by two surgeons is quite unique. It means that everyone going out with the Acquisition Aesthetics stamp is competent and confident in their work. Lara and Priya took their own learnings from being “left in the lurch” early in their careers with a desire to increase safety in the industry to create the business. Putting their educational material into practice was the most challenging part of the journey, but Lara and Priya brought in people with business backgrounds to support them. As surgeons, mothers and now businesspeople, Paul asks how Lara and Priya fit it all into their day. It's their support network that is a safety net for them, as well as recognising your limitations as human beings. They realised that they needed a team of invested people around them, who were also passionate about the cause.  It's taken years to get to this point, but Lara feels they've found balance and compromise in their relationship. Priya feels incredibly fortunate to share a strong working ethos and goals with Lara, and they've learnt a lot from each other along the way. Lara compares their relationship to a marriage, in which they require an unconditional commitment to each other. Their shared dream is what keeps everything spinning, she explains. But in a very male-dominated career, Lara and Priya have both faced difficulties. Lara is committed to understanding why women tend to undergrade themselves and what we can do to change it. Priya, too, wants to shout louder about the issues that still exist in society.  She is also passionate about her work in aesthetics and explains how tweaks to her own appearance have given her “immeasurable” confidence. Bringing the conversation back to the partnership with Operation Smile, Priya explains why the confidence Paul gained through his cleft surgery is personal to him. We end the episode on a jovial note, with Lara and Priya revealing the last thing that made them smile – Lara's was unfortunately too inappropriate for the podcast!

We'll hear from Lara Watson the National Indigenous Officer at the Australian Council of Trade Unions the ACTU who has been part of a four-year campaign to have the CDP in it's present form to be stopped.

Marisa interviewed Lara Watson, Indigenous, officer for .Actu, and First Nations woman They discussed the Racist, punnitive  Could Programme (a form of work for the dole and welfare), introduced in 2015    by Nigel Scullion, Coalition Minister for Aboriginal Affairs. The interview focused on  COULD workers  being prisoners in their own land, as they are given unfair work practices, under the Social security Act and not fair trade. Historical context was also discussed, with the walk off of First Nations people in 1966 for stolen wages, during the Vincint Lingarie era.Marisa then interviewed Praba activist for Trotsky Platform. The interview tackled the fundamental question: How can we unite against Facism. The Christchurch shootings were used as an example, to highlight white Supremacy. The discussion then moved on to cover how Governments use facism to justify invasions and policies, in a  climate of fear and economic rationalism, thus encouraging Facism, to rear its ugly head.    

Is Newstart a new beginning?On today’s episode of Accent, we ask, does Newstart allowance provide for a basic living wage - or should the payment be raised to meet the changing living standards.To help us understand the challenges faced by job seekers on Newstart allowance, we spoke to Gemma Mahadeo, a Melbourne-based writer and musician. Gemma's family emigrated from England to Australia in 1987.  She's a committee member for the Women's Melbourne Network, and has performed her work with the disability troupe 'Quippings'. She identifies as a queer migrant of colour, with a chronic mental health condition.We also speak to Lara Watson, the Indigenous Officer of the Australian Council of Trades Union about the failure of the Community Development Program. Lara is part of the roll out of the Wage Justice Campaign for CDP Workers through the First Nations Workers Alliance.

They've been maligned and misunderstood, but home equity sharing programs may just be a helpful way that buyers can either provide more of a down payment to potentially get more house or even keep their monthly payments lower. In this episode we're talking to Michael Micheletti and Lara Watson of Unison Home Ownership Investors about how their company provides these programs to potential home buyers and home owners (for improvements), how the perception of these programs is changing, and how the programs can help homebuyers and homeowners in very specific ways. We start off with with the mechanics of their programs and what it entails. In short, Unison will double your down payment (up to a certain amount). In return, when you go to sell, they will share in the appreciation that your home has experienced (not full equity of your home) over the time you have had it. If you wish, you can also buy yourself out early for a lesser amount. Michael and Lara then discuss the rough road to acceptance of these programs and how most people above a certain generation are very hesitant to be involved in anything that "takes away their piece." Tom talks with them about how it will take interfacing with the parents of the potential customers in order to help make the transition happen. The conversation also turns to very specific ways that the Unison programs can be of assistance. The big one that changed Tom's mind was realizing that many people who want to move into specific school districts -- but can't traditionally afford the homes there -- could potentially now be able to afford a home in the area and, thus, save a small fortune by not having to send their kids to private schools. This was a game changer in his mind and started him thinking on other ways that Unison and their programs could help. This is a really fascinating episode with some very interesting ideas for using Home Equity Sharing as a process to get more millennials introduced to the housing market. Great conversation!
