The Australian health system involves multiple layers of responsibility and funding provided by governments, individuals, health providers and private health insurers. This guide provides an overview of Australia’s complex health system: what governments do, the role of private health insurance, how much we spend on health care, how Australian health outcomes compare internationally, the health care workforce and links to further information and resources. At the same time, as Australia’s Health 2012 notes, health system arrangements, which are mixture of public and private funding involving blurred lines of jurisdictional responsibility, multiple providers and a variety of regulatory regimes, are ‘nothing short of complex’. James Garland Quintel was born in Hanford, California, on September 13, 1982, the son of Terri (née Morris) and James Allen Quintel.This paper was updated in August 2018 – see Health in Australia: a quick guide.Īustralia’s health outcomes are among the best in the world. His paternal grandfather was a Native Hawaiian, while his paternal grandmother was a Portuguese immigrant from the Azores. According to Quintel, Hanford's geography is "kind of flat" and there "was not a ton to do" when he was growing up, so he and his friends were always looking for ways to entertain themselves he later incorporated these kinds of misadventures into Regular Show. He was inspired by animators Matt Groening, Mike Judge, and Joe Murray, later working for the latter. Into his teenage years, he loved drawing and watching cartoons such as The Simpsons, Beavis and Butt-Head, Rocko's Modern Life, and The Ren & Stimpy Show, as well as British surreal comedy shows such as The League of Gentlemen, The Office, and The Mighty Boosh, which would later inspire Quintel's work. Quintel often played the video game ToeJam & Earl, the influence of which he later described as "the perfect platform" for Regular Show protagonists Mordecai and Rigby. He also became influenced by rock music from the 1980s and later added 1980s music into Regular Show. In 1998, when he was 16, his father gave him a video camera which he used (along with Lego men and crude paper cutouts) to create a few minutes of stop motion film for several short film projects at Hanford High School. To expand his artistry, he took an AP literature class and a pottery class at Hanford High, as well as a summer class where he learned how to animate films and make flip books. He also worked at a movie theater and at "a lot of minimum wage jobs", just as Mordecai and Rigby work for minimum wage at a park in Regular Show. In May 2000, he was nominated as a 12th grade California academic all-star from Hanford High. Career Īfter high school, Quintel attended the California Institute of the Arts in Santa Clarita, California. At CalArts, Quintel and about 20 fellow students, including now-voice artist Sam Marin, developed their short films by throwing title names (such as "lollypop" or "candy") into a hat, drawing them out, and reading them aloud at midnight as a warm-up, where they would each then rush back to their desks in a marathon effort to make a film in 48 hours based on the one word drawn. In the spring of 2005, this CalArts process led Quintel to put together a short animated film about an ambassador who loses his cool during a benign encounter. Quintel titled his new film The Naive Man from Lolliland. Moreover, as Quintel's first exposure to the animation industry, Quintel obtained a 2004 internship at Cartoon Network Studios to work on the TV series Star Wars: Clone Wars. At CalArts, Quintel would also meet another student by the name of Pendleton Ward, with whom he would later work with on the Cartoon Network series The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.
