Evaluation of the Child Health Check Initiative and the Expanding Health Service Delivery Initiative Summary Report
This section includes a summary of our findings in relation to the:
- development of the CHCI
- coverage of the child health checks
- delivery of follow-up services
- impact of the CHCI on health service delivery and the health system
- impact of the CHCI on health status.
4.1.1 Development of the CHCIThe CHCI arose from intense political pressures and through an unusually rapid process. The initial announcement of the NTER measures included compulsory checks for all Aboriginal children aged 0–15 years to identify and treat health problems and any effects of sexual abuse (Brough 2007). Widespread criticism from the medical profession on the compulsory aspect of checks prompted intense discussion between ministers, officials and professional organisations. A change in policy, stating that child health checks would not be compulsory, was announced by the Health Minister on 28 June 2007. An official announcement on 5 July 2007 confirmed that health checks would be voluntary, carried out with the consent of parents or carers and that forensic examinations for sexual abuse would not be part of the standard health check.
The final form of the child health check was a response to the health sector's concerns, moving from an activity that it perceived as unethical, towards a response that still fulfilled the broader intent of the Australian Government's original policy position of examining children, but now not for sexual abuse.
An existing program, MBS Item No. 708, provided a de facto policy platform and an alternative approach to assessing the health of Indigenous children. This provides health checks for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children aged less than 15 years and is intended to facilitate early detection, diagnosis and intervention for common and treatable conditions. Although MBS Item No. 708 became the policy basis for the child health check program it was not designed for the specific conditions in remote NT communities. Its focus was the whole of the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and it assumes that a GP will be the main provider of care, involving other health practitioners in a PHC team as appropriate, and that the check is carried out as part of an ongoing relationship with a health clinic or health practitioner. This was not the case in the delivery of the CHCI.
There is no record of government officials engaging in a policy discussion on whether the individual items in the child health checks conformed to established criteria for the design and operation of screening programs, such as those issued by the World Health Organization (Wilson and Jungner 1968). This is not unusual—many 'health check' programs are implemented without adhering to the WHO principles, despite the desirability of doing so. Similarly, we could find no evidence of consideration of appropriate approaches to Indigenous communities, specifically of the acknowledged and previously common practice of consulting with communities before a health initiative is undertaken by someone outside the community. While child health checks had long been a feature of the NT health system there was no analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of these checks before the design and launch of the CHCI. This information should have been part of any policy consideration before the CHCI was implemented. top of page
4.1.2 Coverage of the CHCIThis section addresses CHCI evaluation objective 1—assess the extent to which the child health checks reached the target population.
The estimated overall coverage rate of the child health checks is between 57–65 per cent of the total eligible population (Table 1) depending on the data definitions used.

(c) Health service estimate dated 31 August 2008. Population estimate as at the commencement of the CHCI. The number is likely to include records for children who also use the services of a nearby Homelands health service (an Australian Government taskforce team is said to have travelled to one Homeland community only, otherwise children living in Homelands communities were checked at the health service in Community B); children who periodically come and live in the community and use the service; visiting children; and children who have since moved to live in other communities.
(d) HIC MBS Item No. 708 Child Health Check.
(e) Health service staff in this community believe that a coverage rate of approximately 89 per cent accurately reflects the proportion of children who received checks.
Child health check coverage was higher among 2–9 year olds and lower for children aged 14–15 years and children who were less than one year old. These results support the experience of health service staff working in one of the case study communities—eligible children in the older age ranges, for a number of different reasons, did not wish to have a child health check. It may indicate that older children are more likely to access health care when they see a reason to (for example when they are ill or injured). The low coverage among the under one-year-old age group may be due to the carers of these children choosing not to attend an additional check-up on top of other checks already attended for newborn children.
Other reasons given for why children did not get a check include:
- children were living in another community at the time the child health check team visited
- some guardians felt frightened by the early media coverage and controversy surrounding the intent of the checks (that is, the initial focus on checking for signs of child sexual abuse)
- some guardians felt their children did not need a check as they had recently been checked.
- Children who received a child health check were significantly more likely to have previously been hospitalised than children who did not have a check. For the period 1 July 1991–30 June 2007, age-adjusted hospitalisation rates (per 1,000 population) were 253 for the group of children who had a check and 207 for the group of children who did not. Actual (non-age-adjusted) rates for the two groups over this period show an average of 3.4 hospitalisations per child for the group of children who had a check, compared to 2.8 hospitalisations per child for the group who did not have a health check.
- Children who received a child health check were significantly more likely to have participated in the GAA program than children who did not get a check, with an average number of attendances of 3.5 compared to 1.9 for children who did not have a health check.5
- There was no significant difference in the proportion of children with low birth weights between the population who received a child health check and the population who did not.6
- There was little difference between the two groups in the reasons for hospitalisation.
The difference in GAA participation rates suggests that children who received a child health check are more likely to attend checks and that the CHCI was, therefore, not an effective mechanism for reaching children who did not already attend check-ups. The data on low birth weights does not strongly suggest that either population (the checked or the non-checked) is healthier than the other. top of page
4.1.3 Delivery of follow-up servicesThis section addresses CHCI evaluation objective 3—assess the extent to which requested primary care, allied heath and specialist follow-up services have been received, the gaps in existing health service delivery and barriers to completing follow-up treatment.
The proportion of children receiving at least one referral from the child health checks was 69.5 per cent (AIHW and DoHA 2009). The most common referrals were for: PHC (38.6 per cent); dental (35.1 per cent); tympanometry and audiology (14.0 per cent); and paediatrics (12.1 per cent).
At the time of writing, many children had not received the services to which they had been referred through the CHCI (see Table 4). As at 2 November 2009, 19.6 per cent of children referred for PHC follow-up, 42.0 per cent referred to paediatric services, and 57.4 per cent referred to other specialist services had not been seen by these services. By 19 July 2010, 39.8 per cent of children referred to dental services, 34.2 per cent to an ENT specialist and 45.4 per cent to tympanometry and audiometry services had not been seen by these services.
These outcomes are not unexpected given the large number of referrals, the existing (pre-CHCI) service patterns for the main referral areas, the already high workloads of some specialists, the time constraints and the rush to establish systems, the need to procure infrastructure and recruit staff, and general logistical problems. Not all these referrals, however, will be outstanding. Some children will no longer require the service they were referred to, and some children will not be able to be traced for follow-up (for example they will have moved out of the prescribed areas).
Overall, the number of follow-up services actually provided is likely to be greater than indicated in Table 4, because in some cases children received services but no chart review was completed and some received additional referrals as a result of their initial specialist consultation.
In any screening program, there is a moral and ethical duty to follow up on the conditions identified. The level of follow-up from the CHCI, as at July 2010, ranged from 42.6–80.4 per cent, depending on the type of referral (Table 4). The total number of referrals was 10,404, of which 6,677 (64.2 per cent) had been followed up and 3,727 (35.8 per cent) had not been followed up.7
It seems that there was no system in place that could capture whether follow-up services were received outside the more traditionally recognised PHC or secondary health care services. This was a significant deficiency, particularly given the critical role of services such as family, community, housing and social support in addressing the broader needs of Aboriginal children.

(a) The CHCI in community E used non-standard forms and the referral information was not available for analysis, so is not included in this table.
(b) The number of children with referral does not equal the number of referrals because one child can have multiple referrals. Dental, and tympanometry/audiometry referral is based on the number of referrals made at the first child health check. ENT referrals also include referrals received at chart review.
(c) For PHC, paediatric and other specialist referrals, only children who received a chart review can be identified if they have or have not been seen by these follow-up services.
(d) For PHC, paediatric and other specialist referrals, number and percentage is based only on those who had a chart review completed. For dental, ENT and tympanometry/audiometry, the data comes from separate dental and audiology data collections. The dental data does not include follow-up services provided by ACCHOs independent of NTER funding.
Source: AIHW and DoHA (2009); Data supplied by AIHW (August 2010).
Initially there were inadequate processes for administering and organising referrals for specialist follow-up services that had been transferred from local service providers to the DHF. Specialist follow-up services were delivered through visiting or outreach services and workforce shortages meant that these services were often supply driven (that is, driven by the availability of specialists rather than the demand for services). For example in case study community B, paediatric follow-up services were referred to the DHF paediatrician who provided routine visits to the community, which at the time were scheduled for approximately one day every three months. The number of referrals (approximately 84), on top of an existing waiting list, proved to be an overwhelming workload for the single paediatrician. No additional paediatric services were forthcoming and the CHCI follow-up referrals were largely not acted upon.
The NT remote health system also lacked the necessary infrastructure to provide specialist services. For example, the funding agreement between DoHA and DHF for dental services stipulated 'a visit to each prescribed community with treatment provided as required, assessing and treating as required 100 per cent of eligible children' (DHF, correspondence, September 2008). However, case study community B did not receive dental facilities and equipment until late 2009, preventing a large number of children from receiving follow-up services under the funding agreement.
New service delivery models for hearing/ENT and dental services may contribute to overcoming barriers to the delivery of services to remote communities. CHCI funding enabled DHF to develop a comprehensive case management service delivery model for a range of services for children identified with ear disease and hearing impairment. The case management model tracks children through all parts of the system.
DHF established a new unit with DoHA funding called the Helping Hands Child Oral Health Program to deal with the large number of dental referrals. To overcome the workforce shortage a new service delivery model was developed based on recruiting staff from interstate for three-week placements to provide mobile dental services, outreach services and secondary hospital (surgical) services.
While these service delivery models are positive developments, it would be beneficial to monitor and evaluate the models once they are fully operational to assess what impact they are having on health outcomes. The effectiveness and sustainability of these new service delivery models would be enhanced by integrating care with PHC, including health promotion.
It is not possible to report on the quality of the child health check assessments and how many unnecessary follow-up referrals may have been made. The differences in referral patterns between some visiting child health check teams working in the same community indicate inconsistencies in referring between different doctors. Variation in aspects of clinical practice is common in all health systems, leading to different referral patterns. Interviews with a number of NT health professionals suggested that some over-referral occurred and this is likely to reflect inexperience and a lack of confidence of some doctors working outside their normal scope of practice. top of page
4.1.4 Impact of the CHCI on health service delivery and the health systemThis section addresses CHCI evaluation objective 4.1—whether the CHCI has led to improvements in health service delivery.
Impact on staff and servicesThe impact of the CHCI on existing health services and staff varied significantly. Where the child health checks were done as part of a Medicare item 708 check, the clinics continued to deliver these Medicare checks and the CHCI had no noticeable effect on how they were delivered. Where a clinic recruited its own dedicated staff to do the child health checks, other services had to be suspended for a week so the staff could focus on doing the checks. This put staff under pressure to get the checks completed so normal services could resume as soon as possible.
In other cases, the child health checks were done by visiting Australian Government task force teams with other services running as normal. In three of the four communities we studied that involved visiting task force teams, the resident teams worked closely with the visiting teams to provide support, advice and direction, as well as continuing to provide normal services. This led to heavy workloads for resident teams. However, it also helped to integrate the checks into normal clinic business and for members of the community this often meant that the checks were almost indistinguishable from normal clinic services.
Several negative impacts on staff and services were apparent, including the need to reassure the community about the child health checks and to overcome feelings that ranged from general scepticism about the checks to real fear that people's children would be taken away. We found evidence of tensions between visiting teams and resident staff, who in some cases were angry that outside staff were being brought in to do the checks. There were also tensions between members of the visiting teams who were not used to working together or used to the conditions in remote communities. The additional workload and stress at the time of the CHCI was an issue for resident health workers.
The lack of engagement between the CHCI and the people and structures in various parts of the health system at the policy and planning stage, before the child health checks started, appears to have been quite destructive. For example, this led to children being viewed by health services as 'your kids' or 'our kids' depending on whether they were accessing a service through a child health check referral or a referral from normal service delivery. Staff morale and motivation at various levels suffered within the system and within both the government and ACCHO sectors. In its health impact assessment, the Australian Indigenous Doctors' Association (AIDA) identified disempowerment of local services as one of eight negative impacts of the CHCI, quoting a senior Aboriginal official:
- It disheartened a lot of people who'd been doing a lot of hard work in the Northern Territory for a long time. I think that was negative. People feeling, you know who've worked for 10, 15 years, working very hard, suddenly felt that you know their contribution wasn't valued. (AIDA and Centre for Health and Equity Training, Research and Evaluation 2010)
- closing clinics and/or suspending normal PHC services in order to deliver the checks
- duplicating assessments when the child health checks were not coordinated with existing services including routine health checks of children (AIDA and Centre for Health Equity Training, Research and Evaluation 2010)
- the administrative burden associated with processing child health check forms and managing referrals (which generally fell on the existing service)
- existing specialist follow-up appointments being 'bumped' by referrals generated by child health checks
- over-referrals taking up the time of specialists
- the loss of capacity of staff, particularly Aboriginal, who either left the workforce or whose morale was damaged as a result of feeling disempowered or stigmatised by the NTER process.
- the extra resources were welcome, particularly capital infrastructure in clinics, audiology equipment and additional staff time for follow-up services
- noticeable improvements in the delivery of some health services such as more dentists on the ground and improved audiology services
- sharing of health knowledge between the staff and visiting teams.
- substantial investment in addressing child health problems
- improved access to medical, dental and specialist health care services. top of page
Impact on the NT PHC systemAny improvements in the NT PHC system seem to be only noticeable for follow-up services. The CHCI program model explains a number of limitations. While the CHCI provided a one-off surge in capacity, there was not always the organisation or infrastructure within the system to respond to this sort of surge. As a result, there was a 'bubble' of Aboriginal children aged 0–15 years who had a child health check but were in a system that was not sufficiently organised to provide a clinical pathway through to secondary and tertiary care. The 'fly-in/fly-out', one-off service model did not always achieve sufficient engagement with the existing staff and services to have any real, ongoing influence on either the staff and services or the PHC system more generally.
While the CHCI's more immediate impacts on staff and services were largely negative, the program has evolved to achieve some successes which have the potential to bring positive impacts at the systems level. The follow-up phase of CHCI has left a legacy of system infrastructure, including additional audiology booths and dental equipment. The CHCI follow-up phase also led to the development of new service delivery models, such as the hearing/ENT and dental delivery models outlined previously, which are having a positive effect at the NT PHC system level.
The CHCI has added a lot of information and data to the PHC system. During the case studies, we heard that larger organisations with more resources have been able to use the data to improve programs and to review the treatment of some conditions. This includes the DHF which, as the main provider of oral health services in remote communities, has used data from the CHCI dental collection to plan regular oral health services. Smaller organisations and providers with fewer resources, however, do not have the capacity to make use of the CHCI data. There is a widespread view among NT health professionals that the CHCI data has 'told us nothing we didn't already know', leaving no legacy to the system for increasing knowledge of disease and treatment in Aboriginal children.
There is evidence that the CHCI data has been used to support greater understanding, particularly within the Australian Government, about the needs of Aboriginal children in the NT and the extent to which the services and systems are able to respond to this need. Since the CHCI was implemented, DoHA has regularly been asked at Senate Estimates hearings about the progress of the checks and follow-up referrals, as well as the prevalence of the specific conditions found. The CHCI data provided the basis for responses to the committee. In responding to a series of questions on the progress of the CHCI at the Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs, a DOHA senior manager made the link between the data, better understanding and the PHC reforms in the NT:
- It [the regular analysis and publication of CHCI data] is part of the reason why the significant change in primary health care is taking place in the Northern Territory and remote services—partially in response to a better understanding of the types of conditions that children have and the types of services that primary health care needs to be able to deliver (Commonwealth of Australia 2009).
While the CHCI itself may not have been the most effective or appropriate initiative, the sustained media and political attention generated by the initiative ensured that NT remote health remained visible on the political agenda and eventually led to the announcement of the EHSDI, which has the potential to have a longer-term impact on health outcomes. A significant challenge for the future will be to ensure that the health needs of Aboriginal children remain visible and high priority for both the Australian Government and the NT Government. top of page
4.1.5 Impact of the CHCI on health statusThis section addresses CHCI evaluation objectives 4.2 and 4.3—consideration of the health status of children in relation to the social determinants of health and consideration of treatment outcomes.
Health services, both local and visiting, provided a significant amount of treatment during the child health checks. Just over half (53.2 per cent) of all children were treated with at least one medication, while 6.7 per cent of children were given a vaccination (AIHW and DoHA 2009). Of the 4,346 children who received a dental check as part of the CHCI, 59.6 per cent received oral health education, 52.2 per cent received treatment for previously untreated caries and 25.5 per cent received treatment for inadequate dental hygiene including plaque and calcification (data supplied by AIHW, August 2010).
While many of the diseases found and treated during the CHCI could potentially impact on population health status within the time frame of the evaluation, there is limited data on these impacts.
There were 1,091 children who had two or more audiology checks as at 19 July 2010 as part of the CHCI. The average period of time between the first and last check was 164 days (around five and a half months). Table 5 shows that for the 514 children who had at least some hearing impairment at the time of their first audiology check, the degree of hearing impairment improved for around half (54.5 per cent) and deteriorated for around a third (34.1 per cent) of all children.
Table 5: Changes in the degree of hearing impairment between the first and latest check for Aboriginal children who had at least two audiology checks (19 July 2010)
Degree of hearing impairment
Per cent
|No change
Source: Data supplied by AIHW (August 2010).Any changes in the degree of hearing impairment may be attributed to the treatment provided through the CHCI, factors that affected diagnosis (such as the doctors' knowledge of diseases and the equipment used for testing), or changes associated with social determinants. It is important to note that the biggest variable is the natural history of audiology conditions which tend to be chronic and recurrent rather than deteriorating, so some fluctuation in the degree of hearing impairment between checks is to be expected.
The general view among case study participants was that children's health had not changed since the NTER. There was a feeling that oral health had improved due to the services that were provided and given that the baseline in access to dental services was so low before the CHCI. There was also a feeling that the dental services were focusing on treating symptoms rather than causes and that improvements may not be sustainable. There was also a view that the large number of audiology checks and improved access to specialist care may have temporarily reduced the prevalence of ear disease, but that the small amount of surgery done was, as expressed by one health professional interviewed, 'nothing that would change the
long-term health of the population'.
While the CHCI may impact on the health of individual children in the short term, intervention while poor social conditions continue will have little impact at a population level as children simply get re-infected or continue to live in conditions that promote or exacerbate chronic illness. Case study participants identified poor quality housing as a critical issue. We used a social determinants of health assessment tool, developed by the Menzies School of Health Research (MSHR 2006), to get a baseline measure of where each case study community sat on a range of indicators. The results matched the stories we heard about the poor condition of housing, with the 'healthy housing' indicators scoring, on average, as 'poor' and significantly lower than the other factors.
It is vital to take a holistic approach to health care, with a focus on acute and preventative care and engagement with wider social determinants. While we acknowledge that the NTER involved a wide range of measures including housing, income support, and education, in practice there did not appear to be a strong relationship between the CHCI and these other initiatives. Future policy needs to focus on the broader aim of relieving poverty and improving the economic and social conditions in remote Aboriginal communities. Provision of access to quality medical care, linked with better housing, education and employment opportunities is critical to improving Aboriginal health at a population level.

5 This data is based on participation in the GAA program delivered by DHF service providers between 1992–93 and 2008. Data from
all NT service providers for the period 2003–06 shows a similar result.
6 We looked at low birth weight because it is an important indicator of both the immediate health of the newborn and of the longterm
risk of adult chronic disease.

Internet Safety
I can't tell you how many times I've received Facebook friend requests from people I don't know or from people that have no mutual friends with me. Or the number of times that I've been friend requested by people I'm already friends with. They've been hacked!
There are many easy ways to be safe online, in any capacity whether it's social media, online purchasing, and even just email.
- First off, keep your profile PRIVATE! If you are not a public official or personality, why do you want the whole world knowing your business, seeing your private family photos, and knowing what you do on a daily basis? Go and Google yourself. See what Google knows about you. You might be surprised. Social media outlets have the ability to be private, so only people you approve or are friends with can see your postings. Check Facebook privacy basics here.
- LinkedIn is geared towards professionals and business, so you might not want a private LinkedIn profile, but there options to maintain some degree of privacy.
- Don't share your passwords. Also, don't use the same password for all accounts. Let's face it. The majority of us pay our bills online; we shop online, and probably even pay our taxes online. Keep a list (somewhere safe) of passwords, and make them difficult! Include numbers, special characters and capital letters.
- Speaking of passwords. You know how when you set up a new account and you're asked to answer security questions? Provide fake answers. Why? Well, have you ever noticed that the majority of these Facebook quizzes and "tell me about yourself" posts are geared towards some of the most common questions? Such as your home city, street you grew up on, favorite vacation spot; the list goes on and on. Don't answer these quizzes, they're click bait! When you answer these questions, you're giving hackers insight which can be used to access your accounts! Why do you need to tell your friends all about yourself, shouldn't they know already?
- Check out the Apps you've allowed on your social media accounts. Remove any that you don't use, and limit the information you allow them to see.
- Be careful what you click on. Sadly, too many times I've opened a news story (from an actual news source) only to have "You've been selected to win…" pop up in my window. Don't click it! Back out or close the window.
- Don't open emails that look funny or are from people you don't know. Almost every store today asks for an email address for discounts or rewards points. I have a separate email account which I use for things like that. I also give out a fake phone number.
- Rather than give your credit card information out online, consider using PayPal, or Apple Pay. Link it to a bank account or a credit card that doesn't have a ton of available funds.
In addition to these safety precautions, it's wise to have a good anti-virus or spyware program installed on your computer.

On Tuesday, participants from across India and abroad gathered to discuss and learn from their peers on how to address the infrastructure challenges ailing India. Dr Andrew Staples, Global Editorial Director from The Economist Corporate Network opened the event, breaking down significant key infrastructure growth points in driving the economy, and the challenges that lie within. He noted that as of April 2018, India has 1,332 infrastructure projects underway, each worth at least US$22m and 343 of which are classified as mega-projects. A third of these mega-projects are behind schedule, further adding to costs.
In the panel discussion moderated by Dr Staples on investing in India, Harry Woo, Managing Director, Panduit Asia Pacific, shared how through the years Panduit India has managed to overcome the challenges in their local operations by leveraging the local distribution network, which has been proven to work in their favour.
"India is a land of endless opportunities and with Panduit as a foreign investor, we look towards our strong partner network to share the success. We are good at manufacturing products through our 60 years of innovation and research, to reduce costs and deliver on infrastructure needs. However, it is the expertise of our distribution network that helps us bring our products to market," Woo said.
"We are encouraged by the conversations we are having with industry and that the work we do is aligned with their needs. Together, we can work toward solving India's infrastructure challenges and realising a richer economy."
Furthermore, industry leaders Cisco Systems (India), International Solar Alliance, Sterling & Wilson and Yes Bank participated in separate panel discussions covering digital transformation in transportation, meeting India's renewable energy demand as well as sustainable investment for the solar industry.

Affordable Care Act Revisited
So much has been made about the Affordable Care Act's troubles, that the law's substantial benefits have largely been lost in the conversation. Here is a quick primer on how the law is benefiting millions of Americans and why California's health care exchange, Covered California,is being held up as a model for the country to see how this law can work.
The Affordable Care Act is a lifeline for most of the 1.7 million uninsured people in Los Angeles County. In fact, the Affordable Care Act will help 7 out of every 10 uninsured people in our county.
There will be a small percentage of Californians who will see their healthcare costs go up, but more than 32 million Californians get to keep their preferred coverage, and another 4 million have the opportunity to become insured. Nearly 900,000 people must buy better benefits because their existing plans have too many holes in the coverage, including a lack of preventive care or plans without a cap on out-of-pocket costs. Nonetheless, Covered California estimates that one out of every three of these 900,000 people statewide who have to buy better benefits, will qualify for a tax credit to reduce their costs.
Also, it is important to remember is that the ACA is the first step toward affordable universal health care and good things take time. When Massachusetts launched its own health care law in 2006, only 123 people signed up—or less than 1percent of those who eventually signed up within the enrollment period—in the first month. With several years of health reform under its belt, Massachusetts has seen significant reductions in healthcare disparities and inequities, and now has the smallest percentage of uninsured residents of all 50 states.
Here is a basic primer on the benefits of this law:
- For one, insurance companies have to be more transparent with their charges and their quality so you can make a better choice.
- Your out-of-pocket expenses will be capped.
- Insurance companies cannot deny you coverage or charge you higher rates because of your gender or because you have a preexisting medical condition, like cancer or diabetes.
- Insurance companies must all provide you certain critical health services and must give you preventive care visits for free.
- Insurance companies use 80-85 percent of the money you pay for health services rather than administrative costs.
- Insurance companies must allow you to keep your kids on your plan until they turn 26.

Dr. Ivan Joseph
Award Winning Performance Coach; Leadership & Cultural Transformation Expert
Dr. Ivan Joseph wants you and your team to succeed — and he knows how you can do it. An award-winning coach, educator and, leader, Ivan has spent his career leading cultural transformation, helping people believe in themselves, and creating cohesive teams. Ivan speaks about self-confidence, embracing the "grit" to persevere in spite of setbacks, and leading teams to success, drawing from the lessons he's learned from a life in sport. Dynamic and engaging, Ivan always leaves audience with a memorable experience that adds value long after the presentation ends. +
While serving as a professor and soccer coach at Graceland University, he developed the soccer program from the ground up, leading both the men's and women's teams to a #1 national ranking, and the men's team to win the first-ever national championship in Graceland's history — in just five years. As a result, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics recognized Ivan as their National Coach of the Year in 2006.
Beginning in 2008, Ivan spent a decade as Director of Athletics at Ryerson University in Toronto, leading the transformation of the athletic department rise to national prominence. Ivan also spearheaded the landmark $100 million renovation of the historic Maple Leaf Gardens, created a culture of belonging and pride across Ryerson's diverse urban campus, and helped student-athletes break records with their athletic, academic, and outreach activities. His efforts also helped the Ryerson Rams win the first-ever provincial and national championships in the institution's history.
In the fall of 2018, Ivan took up his newest post as Vice-Provost, Student Affairs at Dalhousie University, a 200-year old major research institution in Halifax. In this senior role, he leads the university's effort to promote interconnectedness and belonging among a diverse student body drawn from across the country and around the globe. Ivan is also regularly called on to support national team programs. In 2018, he was selected as Head Coach for the women's national soccer team in his native Guyana, and, in 2017, he was the high-performance coach for the Canadian men's basketball team that won the country's first ever FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup.
Along with being an in-demand consultant and speaker, Ivan contributes regularly to publications like the Huffington Post and The Globe and Mail. He also wrote the 2017 book You Got This: Mastering the Skill of Self-Confidence and delivered a TEDx talk called "The Skill of Self-Confidence," with almost 14 million times views on YouTube.
Born in Guyana, Ivan grew up in Toronto, where he was a nationally ranked high-school track and field athlete. He has a BA in Physical Education and Health, an MS in Higher Education Administration, and a PhD in Sports Psychology. --

Dr. Ivan Joseph's Speaking Presentations:
The Skill of Self Confidence
It takes self-confidence to get things done. In fact, that is how Dr. Ivan Joseph defines self-confidence: The ability to accomplish the task at hand. Using visualization and other exercises, he helps people get a sense of the current level of their self-confidence. +
In this fascinating and research-based talk, Dr. Joseph discusses:
- The attributes of self confident people;
- How to develop self confidence;
- Giving feedback that builds self confidence;
- Self-talk and self-affirmation;
- Interpreting failure;
With a PhD in sports psychology, Dr. Joseph shares studies that apply in business and life. He put these studies to use in his work – he coached at the World Championships and took a collegiate soccer team from a losing record to the National Championship in just five years.
In this dynamic and engaging keynote, audiences gain specific tips and take-aways to build their own and others' self-confidence. --
Leadership Tools for Team Excellence
High performing teams have similar attributes. Using examples of business people and from his own coaching experience, NAIA National Coach of the Year Dr. Ivan Joseph shares four key tools for team excellence: +
Grit. Grit is the ability to persevere despite setbacks to accomplish a task. Grit is an attribute of many successful people. In fact, grit is a higher predictor of success than many other factors including intelligence, hard work–over 112 other factors measured.
Grit is an attribute we can develop in ourselves, and coach for in others. Ivan shares how to develop grit. Most importantly we should praise the effort, the diligent work–that is what builds grit.
Focus. Goals are a part of focus, yet we get caught up in the distractions. Learning to maintain focus in the face of distractions leads to higher performance.
Cohesion. Leadership and teamwork is all about relationships. High performing teams are more cohesive and value relationships. Dr. Joseph shares examples of how to build community, the importance of touch, and exercises he uses.
Talent for the Task. Great leaders must be adept at identifying and putting the right person with the needed skill-set in the right role. And, the role must be enticing for the person.
In this highly interactive talk, leaders learn tips and tools to help their teams achieve a higher level of performance. --
The Pygmalion Effect
In business and life, the Pygmalion Effect–the idea that the greater the expectation, the better people perform–is at work in how we lead and interact with others. Too often, "good enough" is what we accept. If those you lead aren't performing at the highest level, look within. +
Each of us transmits subtle cues to others about what we expect – and people do what we expect of them.
Once Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile, within the next six months a number of others did too, with no special training.
Dr. Ivan Joseph was a good soccer coach, but he wanted to be a great coach. In his dynamic talk, he shares what he did to help his team gradually improve their performance, while at the same time improving their grades. His team ended up winning the National Championship, and he was recognized as Coach of the Year. --
Dr. Ivan Joseph is represented by K&M Productions, For more information, Dr. Ivan Joseph's speaking schedule, fees, & booking Dr. Ivan Joseph, contact us.

Hi Guy's I had gone to visit Juicy Ginger for an afternoon of Naughty Girlie Playtime, she was looking Hot in her thigh high PVC Boots and sexy leather Outfit and after some passionate Kissing it was time to get our Tits out and get stuck into some serious nipple sucking. It Didn't take long and we were soon rubbing and fingering each others pussies and I was soon between Gingers Legs sucking on her warm wet pussy teasing her clit with my tongue and savouring all those sweet Pussy Juices. Ginger then produced a big black rabbit vibrator and handed it to me and I switched it on and started to tease gingers pussy rubbing it up and down between her lips and on to her clit, she was getting very excited and very wet so I slid the vibe deep into her Cunt while she Rubbed her clit and she soon reached Orgasm. Next it was my turn and I lay back as Ginger applied some Lube and started to finger my pussy as I spread my pussy lips and once I was ready she gently slid the vive in and out of my cunt teasing my clit with the Vibrating rabbit ears until she made me cum. Ginger rubbed all that creamy cum up and down between my pussy lips then once again slid that vibe deep into my cunt making me cum some more my pussy was now very wet and sticky and we both rubbed all that sticky cum into my pussy.

A British wildlife photographer captured this extraordinary image while travelling in central Brazil's wetlands.
Chris Brunskill was on a boat expedition in the Panatal, situated in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, when he noticed a jaguar prowling the river bank.
After deciding to follow its progress, he realised the female jaguar was looking at an object in the water.
He said: "I was only half paying attention at this point, when she flicked her paw into the grass and out came an anaconda."
It pursued the fleeing anaconda, resulting in a ferocious battle between the two predators lasting for a minute and a half.
"With both the cat and the snake clearly visible, I had the unique opportunity to shoot as they fought for close to ninety seconds in the open, in good light on a fairly calm river, just meters from my boat."
"The snake lunged at the jaguar several times during the confrontation and managed to bite it on the nose more than once, before it was eventually subdued by the big cat with several ferocious bites to the mid-section."
Despite working as a wildlife photographer for ten years, Brunskill says he is lucky to have witnessed the event.
"This is by far the rarest of rare events in the life of the jaguar and I know of several people who have spent twenty years or more on the river and not had the good fortune to see what I saw last week."

On Tuesday April 19th, WagonWheel Presents… welcomes Josh Harty back to The Greystones. The US singer/songwriter will be returning to the UK with brand new album Holding On and there's a fantastic double bill of support from M&J Blues plus The Fargo Railroad Co. who play a rare acoustic set. Advance tickets priced at £7 are available from http://www.wegottickets.com/event/343630 and the venue (12-6pm) or entry on the night will be £9. Doors open 7.45pm.
Josh Harty is a messenger. A North Dakota songsmith. A third generation musician, son of a small town police chief and preacher, he often muses that growing up he figured he'd end up going to jail or going to hell. Between the ages of five and eleven he sang gospel and country with his father at just about every Lutheran Church, Eagles Club and Senior Center in the Midwest. By age twelve Harty had made two records (cassettes) with his dad; achieving sales of 10,000 copies.
After playing in several cover bands in Fargo during his teens, Harty starting his songwriting career when a local booking agent asked him if he could perform 45 minutes worth of original material for an opening gig. He said of course he could and set to work writing the songs that would become the material for his first album "Three Day Notice." After just a week of writing and rehearsing these new songs, Josh received a standing ovation and encore request from the audience while opening for BB King!
His second solo project, 2008's A Long List of Lies (Magnolia Recording Co.) debuted at number eight on the European Americana chart (ahead of the latest Van Morrison album). Produced, recorded and mastered in Madison, Wisconsin's legendary Smart Studios, the album captures Harty's "clean guitar attack and a finger style that glistens with a razor's edge." (Andy Moore, Wisconsin Public Television)
In 2011 Harty released Nowhere, which was recorded at Base Camp Studios in Bozeman, MT by acclaimed performer, producer and engineer Chris Cunningham (Storyhill).
2014 saw the release of two duo albums Harty recorded between 2012 and 2013. 12 August with fellow Americana artist John Statz and The Attic Session with long time collaborator Blake Thomas.
Over the last five years Harty has toured tirelessly in 41 States and countries across Europe and the United Kingdom. He demoed songs for his new album with George Lucas in Brno, Czech Republic (released as a download called "The Brno Session"), in New York City, and in Gleisdorf, Austria with Chuck Lemonds.
His new album, Holding On, was recorded at DNA Music Labs in Madison, WI and was produced by Blake Thomas and Mark Whitcomb. The album features songs written on the road over the last 2 ½ years performed by a full band. Having the base tracks performed live in the studio, the album captures the feel and energy of a true Americana band. Release date for Holding On is April 8, 2016.
Josh Harty's unique blend of American music has become a must-hear for those who keep the tradition of country, blues and folk close to their hearts. The touring bug has never left him as he continuously travels across Europe and North America. More than just moving along, he's spending plenty of time in the communities along the way, from Brooklyn to Haarlem, from London to Portland. Harty is always looking for that balance between the rolling road and the people who inspire him, trading stories around kitchen tables and theatre stages. His live shows prove that good storytelling combined with journeyman musicianship is as American as music gets.
"I can already hear Bob Harris waxing lyrical about this in the early hours of the morning on BBC Radio 2!" Fatea Magazine
"his voice has that perfect combination of resignation and hope" Americana UK
The Fargo Railroad Co. have gone from strength to strength since forming in 2013 and have steadily built a reputation as one of Sheffield's hottest live acts. Drawing on a vast range of musical influences, from old school thrash metal to easy listening, jazz to blues, rock & funk to folk, country and bluegrass, they found common ground in the broad and deep ocean of Southern Rock. They released their debut album, live recording Sharing The Load, in early 2015 and had a busy summer of festival appearances. They rounded off 2015 with a sold out second birthday show and a new live acoustic EP. Tonight they perform an acoustic set.
M&J Blues are father and son Mark & Jeff Lyall. They're regular performers at many Sheffield venues doing their bluesy country rock 'n' roll thing. The ever popular duo will kick the night off in typically fine style.

Ike Hilvers passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 26, at the age of 91. He was born in Platte, South Dakota and moved to California around age three.
Ike was preceded in death by his wife, Clara Mae, and son and daughter-in-law, Mike and Gail Hilvers.
His surviving family include Kevin (Shelly) Hilvers, Lisa (Jett) Hoag, and Tricia (Kevin) O'Connor. He has 10 grandchildren, Tracey Riddle, Robin Booth, Tom Hilvers, Kayla Hilvers, Jeffrey Hilvers, Derrick Hoag, Katie Heether, Jody Hoag, Kyler O'Connor, and Kali O'Connor. He also was blessed with 16 great grandchildren and has two surviving sisters, Alida Cookson and Tillie DeGeus.
Ike was a dairyman and later an almond farmer. He loved hard work and never fully retired. After moving into Ripon, he would still drive out to his orchard to fix things, maybe do some light tractor work, or just enjoy a walk around his orchard. He was a member of First Ripon CRC, serving there as a deacon and elder many times, participating in Bible studies throughout the years, and also the Senior ministry. He was also a faithful supporter of the Ripon Christian Schools.
But most important to Ike was the sure hope he had in his Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. His faith was shown in a soft, but timely spoken word about the importance of knowing Christ as your Lord and Savior and serving him first.
A memorial service will be held at First Christian Reformed Church on Thursday, August 30 at
11 a.m., 305 Boesch Ave., Ripon. A graveside service will be at 10 a.m. at the Ripon Cemetery. Memorial gifts may be given to Ripon Christian Schools, Bethany Home, or a charity of your choice.

SHOCKING footage captures the moment two "idiot" drivers risk a catastrophic crash by racing each other through heavy traffic.
A Volvo driver narrowly dodges multiple cars as they swerve in and out towards oncoming traffic.
Debbie Murden-Field filmed the clip one her dash cam last Wednesday and uploaded it to Facebook
The video begins with Debbie driving down Station Road, in Langley Mill in Derbyshire.
Then out of nowhere, the silver car overtakes her and just gets back onto the left hand side of the road before hitting a Porsche.
They then almost hit a parked car and a black Ford before overtaking again just before a roundabout.
Following this a Corsa then appears to pass Debbie at speed and instead of following the Volvo driver, goes the wrong way at the roundabout.
During the video, Debbie can be heard saying "F***'s sake, f****** idiot."
She shared the clip on Facebook with the caption: "All I can say is,you complete and utter t****, sorry about the language folks, but people like that make you swear."
Her social media post has now received more than 310,000 views and attracted more than 500 comments.
Natalie Elizabeth Binsted said: "Hope they catch them. Idiots. Hope your ok aswell. Good reaction."
Adam Beadell said: "Wow! What a p***k."
Kez Jeffries said: "Wtf f****** morons."
Roxanne Buckley said: "Jesus what idiots!"
John Soden said: "They need to be banned and locked up idiots."
Chris Hayes said: "Should go wrap themselves around a lamp post."
Speaking today, former van courier, Debbie described the drivers as "total lunatics."
She said: "I don`t think they were racing.I think the Corsa was giving chase.
"When I looked in my mirror I thought, omg, he is coming up fast,then i thought,no way is he going to stop.
The 49-year-old from Ashfield, Nottingham also said her quick reactions managed to save the day.
She added: "My instant reaction was to swerve left and slam my brakes on.
"Good job I did as he would have hit me, the Porsche, the parked car and the black car in front."
Derbyshire Police confirmed investigation into the incident is taking place.
A spokesman said: "Enquiries are ongoing regarding this incident. No arrests have been made."

Traditions are created by you and I reliving our personal
celebrations and events. We add new traditions to those of
our forebearers. These are the oral traditions families
have told and retold for the length of human history.
The act of staging a re-enactment is passing that story to a
new generation. Traditions bring people closer together
recognizing their shared experience. Shared experiences give
a feeling of belonging.

Your friendly neighborhood serial trespasser.
Because I can.
Because it's cheap.
Because it's educational.
Because it's fun, dammit.
Is this legal?
Short version: no. We do sometimes get permission, but it's rare.
What's with the Max Headroom mask?
Erm… personal hero.
-Don't try this if you don't use your brain. Seriously, the risk usually isn't worth that lame #selfie.
-Use a real flashlight, not your phone with 12% battery.
-Bring spare batteries.
-Bring more spare batteries.
-If the air quality sucks, get a mask or don't breathe it. Fungus in your lungus no-good.
-Asbestos… it's usually grey and very fibrous. Don't disturb it and you'll be fine.
-Don't wear your three year-old shredded Vans or Converse, really they're like magnets to every rusty nail and stray glass shard one can find. Boots, steel-toe, steel shank if you can… don't get cheap Kmart crap.
-Camera's optional, but bring it if that's your thing.
-Don't bring anything that screams "burglary tools"; see below regarding entry…
-Don't be a dick.
-Don't get caught.
No, I meant tips for locations.
1060 W. Addison.
You dick. At least tell me how to find these places?
They're everywhere, just have to look while going about your life. Fart around on Google Maps for a few hours – the imagery may not be the most up to date, but Earth and StreetView can't be beat for armchair/shitter scouting. Industrial sites were often built along bodies of water and rail lines back in the day – learn your city's commuter rail system and ride around, almost guarantee you'll see something. Rural spots are going to be more spur-of-the-moment but they're out there. Networking with other reprobates does help; but all the smart ones are tight-lipped around new people.
It's (probably) not that we hate you – but the reason we'll give you the address to a certain ballpark if you ask for locations is because too often the right info was given to the wrong idiot who got the place sealed or destroyed. We publish addresses on this site only when a spot has been torn down or I've personally verified that it has been sealed. This is a hobby based 110% on smarts and trust, which is earned over time and experience – not by Instasham DM's.
How do you get in?
Find a way. Do not break-and-enter (B&E is a felony and a whole different can of worms* from a trespassing ticket), but in many cases: if a place has been abandoned long enough, chances are someone's already made an entry point. If it's not obvious, there are other telltale signs that suggest a spot's doable. Get creative, if nothing else. Sometimes you can track down a property owner, and in many cases we've gained legal access by explaining our interests in preservation and documenting the place for posterity. Be prepared to sign your life away with an insurance waiver, in this scenario.
*jonrev is NOT a lawyer… take this advice and make your own judgement calls before doing anything. Don't sue me.
Have you been caught?
Yes, many times. Never arrested.
How do you deal with confrontations by cops/security/crackheads/bums/etc.?
Cops/security/property owners: respect goes a long way. Don't be an idiot and say/do something dumb that makes things 10x harder for them and yourself. Really, that's all I can give you for the best odds at walking out free.
Junkies, meth heads, etc.: use discretion. Some advise carrying a pack of smokes to offer as a friendly gesture. Junkies that are high can be unpredictable, do not make sudden movements that might set them off. Squat spots and hobos: be respectful, make sure they know you're not there to mess with their stuff. Offer a smoke from your handy pack. If you encounter an active meth lab: fuck that noise and GTFO!! Meth cooks will chase and kill you to protect the lab, and cops won't find your body for a long, long time.
What happened to "take only pictures, leave only footprints", you fuckin' thief??
"Help, police… someone's stealing garbage." Our society becoming so overly-wasteful is what happened. There's no reason something historic, useful or just plain cool should – in the name of some dipshit's self-righteous bylaws – be left for sacrifice to the bulldozer gods, or dumped in a landfill when a historical society (or I) may have a use for it. If we can do things ethically we will, but often times: if I shoots, I loots.
What do you shoot with? Can you help me take better pictures?
Read this.
Did you go to school for any of this?
Nope. Strong reader in youth, C-student in high school who graduated at the peak of the Great Recession and decided eternal slavery to a student loan debt wasn't an ideal living. I taught myself all of my photojojo via the internet, years of trial and error, and farting around with instant film. All of my research is compiled from free newspaper and historical society archives that I can access either locally from home, or at my town's library.
Can I have your babies?
That depends. Applications will be assessed on an individual basis.
I'm a model; will you take me to, and shoot me in those places?
We're looking for a cool bando to do [insert activity/production here], do you know of anything?
1060 W. Addison
Will you shoot my car/building for sale/cat(s)/anything not involving people?
Why don't you shoot people?
Murder is illegal.
But seriously, remember when Sears had those portrait studios? Nightmare-inducing stuff…
I'm an editor for CNNowBuzzViceNet.com and we're doing a story/slideshow on [thing], may we use your work for free so that we can make bank off the ad revenue? We'll give you credit… tasty, tasty, tasty credit.
You're the reason I use ad blockers. Piss off, vulture.
I'm writing for a nonprofit/zine/small blog/school presentation on [thing], may I use your work for one of the aforementioned?
THIS… probably. Hit me up on the Contact page and let's work something out.
Are you cool irl?

South Korea vowed Thursday to press ahead with plans to send troops back to Afghanistan despite a Taliban threat of retaliation.
South Korea, a longtime U.S. ally, said it would send up to 350 troops next year to protect its civilian aid workers working in the province of Parwan, about 60 kilometers (35 miles) north of the Afghan capital of Kabul.
The Taliban said in a statement Wednesday that the move would violate a South Korean promise in 2007 to withdraw from Afghanistan permanently in exchange for the release of 21 hostages.
Officials from South Korea's Defense Ministry and Joint Chiefs of Staff denied that the government made such a promise to the Taliban. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.
Twenty-three South Koreans were taken hostage in 2007 after their government had already decided to remove its troops from Afghanistan. Two of the hostages were killed by the Taliban, who demanded that the South Korean troops be withdrawn immediately.
South Korea later pulled its approximately 200 soldiers from the country, and has had no troops there since 2007.
Under a Defense Ministry plan, the new troops are to be deployed from July 1, 2010, to Dec. 31, 2012, in Parwan, where the main U.S. base is located. The ministry was expected to submit a request to the National Assembly later Thursday for its approval.
Opposition legislators have opposed the dispatch plan, citing unstable security conditions in Afghanistan. The ruling Grand National Party, however, has enough seats in the assembly to pass the proposal.
A statement sent late Wednesday from an e-mail address regularly used by the Taliban warned that South Korean leaders "should be prepared for the consequence of their action, which they will certainly face."
"They had promised to withdraw their troops from Afghanistan and committed never to send soldiers to the country in future," said the statement, received by The Associated Press in Islamabad.
Defense Ministry spokesman Won Tae-jae told reporters the ministry would go ahead with the troop dispatch.
"Our troops will be operating there after formulating complete security measures and there would not be any major problem," Won told reporters.
South Korea also dispatched troops to Iraq in 2003-2008, part of efforts to bolster its alliance with Washington.

Relatives seeking child custody in Pennsylvania
Under certain circumstances, such as the death of a child's parents, it will be up to the Pennsylvania courts to determine what will happen to that child. In the absence of another parent, the child's grandparents are normally the next relative that can petition for custody. As things stand now, other relatives such as aunts and uncles do not have the right to petition for child custody except under specific circumstances.
Collaborative law could help children of Pennsylvania couples
Woman's husband owes her 10 years of child support
A woman has been trying to get her ex-husband to pay her what he owes her for about 10 years now. After the couple first parted ways, she tried to work things out without involving the courts. Like many Pennsylvania parents, when her ex-husband consistently refused to pay her, she went to her local Child Support Enforcement office for help.

Nordicbet Casino review
Don't get fooled by the name, this casino is not only for nordic players, and they are always looking to expand their reach. Founded all the way back in 2002, and operated by BML Group Ltd, this casino is perhaps most famous for sports betting, virtual sports, live bet and tons of great promotions.
Of course, you'll also find a great selection of slots and other casino games here, in addition to poker and a good looking live casino, packed with live action in HD quality. There really is nothing lacking at Nordic Bet Casino, except the fact that UK players are not allowed. Hopefully, that will change sometime in the future.
Nordic Bet bonus
The welcome offer is quite decent, but nothing to scream about from the rooftops. You get a simple deposit bonus, with some free spins thrown in for good measure:
- 100% up to €50 + 25 free spins
The free spins can be used on the following slots: Starburst, Mega Fortune Dreams, Gonzo's Quest, South Park Reel Chaos and Twin Spin. You have to use the free spins within 7 days, otherwise they will be removed from your account.
The minimum deposit to claim this bonus is €10, you have 14 days to play it out before it expires. There is no need for any bonus code to claim this offer. You'll get it automatically as long as you deposit the minimum amount.
Wagering requirements
Like most welcome offers out there, Nordic Bet bonus also comes with wagering requirements. You'll have to wager only the bonus money 35 times before you can withdraw any winnings, and the same goes for all winnings from the free spins.
Please note that your real money balance will be played out first, before the bonus money wagering starts. Some games are restricted when it comes to wagering, but most slots contribute 100% to the wagering requirements. You'll find the complete breakdown in the bonus Terms & Conditions.
Nordic Bet free spins
You get a decent amount of free spins as part of this welcome offer, and the casino even offers you a good selection of slots to choose from when it comes to playing them out. It's nice to have options, but note that all winnings from your free spins must be wagered within 24 hours after claiming the free spins, otherwise they will be removed.
Nordic Bet review
Nordic Bet is a well established brand in Scandinavia, but has long since expanded further into the european market. The website is clean cut, modern and mobile friendly. The cool blue arctic color scheme is a reminiscent of its nordic roots, but the variety of their games is all but continental.
The casino has a license from Malta Gaming Authority, which is one of the strictest regulating agencies in the business. This means that you can feel 100% safe while playing here, as the fairness and security of the casino has been severely tested by independent third parties.
If you're looking to have everything available at one place, in addition to tons of promo offers and other fun stuff, then Nordic Bet Casino is well worth checking out. This casino has an explicit goal of keeping you entertained pre-match, half time, as well as post-match, and we have to admit that they have succeed very well with their massive game selection.
Casino Customer Support
The support at Nordic Bet is about as good as it gets. Service-minded people and excellent response time pretty much sums it up, and to top it off, the Live Chat is open 24/7. They won the EGR Award for Best Customer Service in 2017, which is well deserved as far as we are concerned.
You can request call back service, and they will usually get back to you within less than an hour. If you prefer email support the response time is between thirty to sixty minutes, and they usually reply on the live chat within 30 seconds.
Nordic Bet Payment options
Nordic Bet Casino offers all the most common payment options, and you make deposits and withdrawals with the following methods: Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, Neteller, Bank Transfers, Paysafecard, Trustly and Euteller.
Note that a fee of 2.5% is applied if you choose to pay with Visa and MasterCard. Minimum deposit is €10, and minimum withdrawal is between €20 and €30, depending on withdrawal method used. You must use the same withdrawal method as the one you used for deposit.
The maximum amount you can withdraw at one time is €50 000, and the monthly limit is €1,5 million. Cashout time is usually between 24 hours and 3-4 days, depending on the method you choose. eWallets are always faster than credit card and bank transfer.
Nordic Bet promotions
Nordic Bet takes promos and bonus offers seriously, and their dedicated promo page is always packed with great offers in a variety of categories. You'll find a nice selection of casino offers, poker offers and sportsbook offers at any given time here, so there should be something for everyone.
Nordic Bet VIP program
The VIP reward program at Nordic Bet is quite simple, and lots of fun. You earn points for playing games, and at the end of every month your accumulated points determine your VIP level, and how much reward points you are entitled to.
There are 6 VIP levels to reach for, namely Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Elite. The reward points you earn can be exchanged for cash at the end of every month, and the higher you climb, the better your rewards will be.
Nordic Bet slots & games
Nordic Bet offers a large selection of, not only slots and casino games, but also sportsbook, live bet, virtual sports and poker. There is an almost endless stream of entertainment here, no matter what your passion might be.
When it comes to slots and casino games you'll find around 800 games in total, and most of them slots. The casino collaborates with a huge selection of quality game providers, and you'll be sure to find games you've never seen before here.
We can mention software providers like NetEnt, Asian Gaming, Evolution Gaming, Jadestone, Microgaming, Play'n GO, Thunderkick, Quickspin, ELK, Nyx and many others. Table games like blackjack, roulette, baccarat come in a wide variety of different versions, and you can also play them in the excellent live casino.
Nordic Bet mobile
The mobile casino is excellent, and you you can play a wide selection of table games, slots and HD live casino on your mobile device or tablet. If you wish, you can also download the Nordice Bet mobile app for Android and iOS, but this is not necessary to play. Instant play in your mobile browser works perfectly on any device, be that iPad, iPhone or Android.
