Paper delivered on Thursday 13 August 1998
Delivered at State Film Theatre 1 Macarthur St, East MelbourneSummary: The 1998 Sambell Oration was delivered by Fred Argy, author of Australia at the Crossroads and one of Australia’s leading economists.
Fred Argy is no stranger to the needs of practical decisionmaking. As a public servant he was secretary to the Campbell Inquiry into the Australian financial system; Australia’s ambassador to the OECD; director of the Economic Planning Advisory Council, and a senior Treasury adviser.
Believing that economic policy should be about improving our society, Fred Argy argues that the issue for Australia is not whether we should be trying to improve economic efficiency through structural reform, but how we can do this with acceptable employment and social outcomes.

Ticket to Work [website] / Ticket to Work ; BSL by Ticket to Work | Brotherhood of St Laurence. Publisher: [Fitzroy,Vic] : Brotherhood St Laurence, [2022.]Online Access: Ticket to Work Website Notes: Ticket to Work works to improve employment opportunities and outcomes for young people with disability. The initiative grew out of research that showed participation in work and career experience during secondary school are key indicators of post-school success for young people with disability.
Work is a fundamental part of adult life. It gives us a sense of purpose and a feeling of worth; shaping who we are and how we fit into our community. Because work is so essential, students with disability must not be deprived the opportunity to explore employment pathways in their transition to adulthood.
Ticket to Work does not provide direct services to young people with disability or their families. We encourage people to use our website to learn more about evidence based practice in school to work transition.
Ticket to Work has a podcast series that explores the 'world of work' for young people with disability.
