In Australia, almost 22,000 people were hospitalised in the period from 2010–11 to 2014–15 as a result of injury which occurred on a farm; over three-quarters of them (77%) were males. Involving motorcycles and quad bikes accounted for 21% of hospitalisations in people aged 15 and over. Injuries occur frequently on farms with lack of safety equipment, my design was created to expand the protected area of farms when using motorbikes on stations. To decrease injuries as well as create a safe environment for farm users, who supply stock and food to our world tables, Protect your Australian farmers.
I am designing refillable sunscreen bottles that can be refilled at chemists and dispensers located in areas with high foot traffic and busy suburban locations.
In 2024, by age 80 years, 1 in 3 people are diagnosed with dementia. Dementia is a rising non-communicable disease, and in Australia there is not enough adequate living conditions that fit the needs of those with dementia. My solution is to design a village catered to the needs of people with dementia, including a functioning community, 24/7 help and constant activities to exercise the brain. The village will be using the area of long bay jail, it will use half the area for the village and the other half will be sold to a private development company to fund.
For 60,000 years, First Nations women have birthed on Country - deeply rooted in cultural and traditional birthing practices. Today, 96% give birth in western hospitals (often far from their land and community), losing that important cultural connection.SOLUTION: Inspired by my time on Country with Traditional Owners in the Northern Territory, my idea is a sustainable birthing mat made from Biofabrics that incorporates native plant materials (from Country) - to help Indigenous mothers feel more connected to Country and hopefully ease anxieties caused by intergenerational trauma surrounding hospitals, during childbirth.
Did you know that for the first 4 months after giving birth, on average mothers get 3 and 1/2 hours of sleep each night? Postpartum women experience a range of changes to their body and lives that makes getting a good night of sleep nearly impossible. My goal is to design a set of sustainable pajamas that cater to the needs of postpartum women, ensuring that they can get quality sleep whenever possible. I’m looking for supporters who work in the textiles industry.
This sustainable tiny home village is designed to support individuals experiencing homelessness. Featuring modular, eco-friendly homes, the village offers a safe and secure living space where residents can benefit from a wide range of support services, including counsellors and employment training. Communal gardens and shared dining areas foster community bonding. With a focus on sustainability, the village utilises renewable energy and resource-efficient solutions such as solar panels to reduce environmental impact. This approach to combatting homelessness ensures residents have the stability, skills, and support needed to rebuild their lives and transition into independent living.
