Experts from the South Western Sydney Area Health Service and the University of New South Wales say there are few reports of healthcare interventions to address the impact of unemployment on health. They outline possible strategies, which include providing accessible and appropriate healthcare; developing the healthcare system's capacity to deal with the health problems of unemployed people; collaborating with other agencies and sectors working on this issue; acting as an advocate for unemployed people; undertaking research; and providing training, work experience and employment opportunities within the healthcare system. Long term solutions lie in increasing employment and training opportunities. Nevertheless, there is a clear role for the healthcare system in reducing the health impacts of unemployment and ensuring that poor health does not act as a barrier to returning to work.
来自悉尼西南部地区卫生服务中心和新南威尔士大学的专家表示，鲜有关于应对失业对健康影响的医疗干预措施的报告。他们概述了可能的策略，包括提供可及且适当的医疗服务；提升医疗系统应对失业人群健康问题的能力；与致力于该问题的其他机构和部门合作；为失业人群发声；开展研究；以及在医疗系统内提供培训、工作经验和就业机会。长期解决方案在于增加就业和培训机会。然而，医疗系统在减轻失业对健康的影响以及确保健康不佳不会成为重返工作岗位的障碍方面，显然能发挥作用。
