In health news, Australian and New Zealand physicians say that work is beneficial to a person’s well-being. In the Australian and New Zealand Consensus Statement on the Health Benefits of Work, doctors said that working is good for health and also contributes to increased feelings of social inclusion. The Statement was endorsed by unions, business groups, health professionals, government authorities, and others. It stated, “Good outcomes are more likely when individuals understand the health benefits of work, and are empowered to take responsibility for their own situation.” The report was launched by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and the Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
