🎧 Heart of Care
A podcast by AMCU Media
Heart of Care is a storytelling and conversation podcast that explores the lived realities behind Australia’s health, welfare, and social systems — through the eyes of those navigating them every day.
Hosted by John from AMCU Media, each episode shares heartfelt stories, policy insights, and personal reflections on what it truly means to care — whether as a healthcare worker, a parent, a patient, or a citizen.
From overworked families to underfunded clinics, delayed mental health support to the quiet dignity lost in welfare queues, Heart of Care brings voice to the untold human stories behind the statistics — and asks the tough questions that matter.
Because behind every number is a name. Behind every policy is a person. And it’s time we truly listened.

🎧 Episode 9 – We Are All Guests: Rethinking Migration in Australia
Podcast Series: Heart of Care
Episode Description:
In this powerful episode, host John explores one of Australia’s most polarising and deeply personal topics — migration. But instead of political spin, we take a step back to uncover the truths, myths, and missed opportunities in our national story.
From humanity’s ancient migrations to today’s visa gridlocks, from the legacy of colonisation to the contribution of migrant workers — we dive into the real challenges behind labour shortages, systemic inequities, and the misplaced blame placed on those simply seeking a better life.
Highlights include:
- Why “job-stealing migrants” is a myth that hurts us all
- How our labour system fails both employers and jobseekers
- The economic and cultural wealth migrants bring to Australia
- The deeper meaning of belonging — for both newcomers and First Nations people
- A call for policies rooted in justice, vision, and shared humanity
Australia is not full — it’s under-imagined. Let’s reframe the conversation, rethink our responsibilities, and rediscover our shared future — together.
