See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject will examine structure, financing and delivery of health care in Australia, including the roles and responsibilities of the Federal and State Governments along with the private sector. Broader public policy, regulatory, social, behavioural, environmental and community factors impacting the health of individuals and populations will be considered. The elements of the health ecosystem including the health services that form the continuum of care, and the social, economic and environmental determinants of health will be explored. Students will be encouraged to critically appraise the current Australian health system and its policies in comparison to key features and the performance of other health systems from around the world. The subject will also equip students with a basic understanding of health system design and the measurement of performance. Using a case-study approach, students will be challenged to identify the key elements of a health care system that is affordable, sustainable and of high quality. The emerging focus on person and family-centred care, and the challenges of chronic disease, health risk management, addressing inequities, global health issues and the introduction of new and emerging technologies, will also be examined. An online learning format will include digital resources; lectures and presentations from health industry leaders featuring the latest data and evidence; interactive workshops with expert panels; and small group discussion applying learning to current health and system challenges.
