Health is a priority for Oz
February 22, 2013
AUSTRALIANS care more about
their health than careers and
financial security, according to the
OPSM Future Vision Report. Commissioned by OPSM, the
study was conducted among 1,035
Australians aged 18 years and over,
and found that when asked about
what they value, nine out of ten
placed their health above their
career, whilst more than three
quarters valued health over
financial security.
The report also found that Aussies
are fairly optimistic about the
future of healthcare, with 64%
saying that they believe that
healthcare will only improve further.
When asked about vision health,
94% said that wanting to see the
world using their own eyes will
always be important, whilst almost
four in five (78%) Australians agree
that improvements in technology
mean they get to see more of the
future than they otherwise would
have.
Interestingly, when asked to look
80 years into the future around
changes in consumer products,
Aussies want to see innovations like
glasses that increase vision or allow
people to see in the dark being
offered, ahead of things like invisibility
cloaks and non-melting ice.
