  • 033: We're back!! Ten Minutes With...
    2026/03/24

    Ten Minutes With is a fast-paced micro-podcast about personal injury, workers compensation, healthcare and the humans within.

    The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast began as a space for long-form, human conversations about work, health, leadership, creativity, and what it means to build better systems bringing together trusted friends, collaborators, and changemakers to share real stories, challenge dominant narratives, and explore the emotional and ethical realities of modern life.

    Ten Minutes With is the evolution of this work.

    Made by Compo Nerds for Compo Nerds and still brought to you by The Intelligent Rebellion HQ and Threesticks Productions. In each 10-minute episode, I chat with people from across the personal injury ecosystem to talk compo life, injury management, return-to-work, systems, and what’s happening on the ground.

    Ten Minutes With is the evolution of this work.

    Short enough to fit between meetings. Sharp enough to spark conversations.

    If you’re in the industry or #CompoCurious - come on down!

  • Sporulation, Psychedelics, and Healthcare with Melissa Errey and Voytek Bereza
    2024/04/09
    In 2023, Australia became the first country in the world to legalise the use of psychedelics to treat PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. Welcome to Episode #31 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast. Sporulation, Psychedelics and Healthcare. In this episode of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast, I chat with Melissa Errey, founder of Sporulation Art Exhibition and healthcare professional, and Voytek Bereza, a Neuropsychopharmacist Prescriber and founder of The Transparent Company. In this episode: About the Sporulation Art Exhibition (23 April 2024 to 5 May 2024)The role of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for mental health conditionsIntrospection, Intuition and psychedelicsPsychedelic experiences during a trip and percolation from unconscious to the conscious mindEmergence of clinical research trials and harm minimisation July 1st 2023 is when Australia became the first country in the world to legalise the use of psychedelics to treat some mental health conditions. From July 1st 2023 psychiatrists were authorised to prescribe products containing 3,4‑methylenedioxy‑methamphetamine (MDMA) or psilocybin for use in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy to treat specific mental health conditions. MDMA may be prescribed for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Psilocybin may be prescribed for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). For these specific uses, psilocybin and MDMA have been listed as Schedule 8 (Controlled Drugs) medicines in the Poisons Standard. To be able to prescribe MDMA or psilocybin for these conditions, a psychiatrist must be an Authorised Prescriber (AP) under the TGA’s Authorised Prescriber scheme. Before seeking approval to be an AP, the psychiatrist must first obtain approval from a Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). It was quite serendipitous that I was to meet Melissa Errey in October 2023, only three months later. It’s turns out, Melissa a health professional by day, and an artist by night was already part of a community of people from all walks of life, who were exploring and discussing the role of psychedelics in healthcare and in medicine.

  • Let's Talk About Sex with Saul Isbister
    2024/03/12

    Content Warning: Before we begin, we want to let you know that this episode contains discussions about the sensitive topic of sexual abuse. Please prioritise your health and well-being, and if this is an episode you choose to skip, we’ll see you at the next one.

    Welcome to episode 30 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast: Let's Talk About Sex. Our guest is Saul Isbister, President of Touching Base Inc A volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation, developed out of the need to assist people with disability and sex workers to connect with each other, focusing on access, discrimination, human rights and legal issues and the attitudinal barriers that these two marginalised communities can face.

    Since episode 19 when Anjelo Ratnachandra and I touched on the subject of intimacy, sex, and chronic pain, I’ve continued to wonder and be curious about the topic of intimacy and sex, particularly in the personal injury and disability space. Healthcare professionals and rehab people are always going on about holistic care, and a biopsychosocial approach, and, a part of that is acknowledging that sexual and physical intimacy are at the core to the human experience.

    In this episode, Saul and Rhea discuss:

    • Touching Base Inc, its origin story, vision, mission, and values.
    • What are sex work services, and how people can access the service.
    • The challenges Touching Base face in achieving their mission.
    • What Saul is hopeful and optimistic about.

  • Lawyer Up! with Tyrone Walker, Special Counsel
    2024/02/01

    Exercise Physiology Services fall outside the scope of regulation of The National Law, rendering certain provisions of the law inapplicable to this profession. Nonetheless, every person as an individual is subject to the laws of the land.Welcome to Episode #28 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast. Lawyer Up! with Tyrone Walker, Special Counsel at Hunt & Hunt.

    Howdy Folks, Rhea here. In late 2023, I was engaged in a Facebook forum thread. I don’t usually enjoy having nuanced discussions over social media comment sections, so I bowed out after a few exchanges. My entry point into the thread was regarding the use of the word “specialist,” and the discussion went to whether exercise physiologists were subject to The Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009, which is a nationally consistent law which was passed in QLD and enacted in states and territories in 2009 and 2010. From here on I’ll just refer to it as The National Law.

    One side of the discussion was that exercise physiologists were not subject to The National Law, I agreed that, yes, Exercise Physiology Services fall outside the scope of regulation of The National Law, rendering certain provisions of the law inapplicable to this profession. Nonetheless, every person as an individual is subject to the laws of the land. As I dove straight down the legal rabbit hole, I found more questions than answers, and that’s when I turned to Tyrone Walker, Special Counsel at Hunt & Hunt in NSW.
