In this unit, students look at health and wellbeing, disease and illness as being multidimensional, dynamic and subject to different interpretations and contexts. They explore health and wellbeing as a global concept and take a broader approach to inquiry. Students consider the benefits of optimal health and wellbeing and its importance as an individual and a collective resource. They extend this to health as a universal right, analysing and evaluating variations in the health status of Australians. Students focus on health promotion and improvements in population health over time. Through researching health improvements and evaluating successful programs, they explore various public health approaches and the interdependence of different models. While the emphasis is on the Australian health system, the progression of change in public health approaches should be seen within a global context.
In this area of study, students look at different approaches to public health over time, with an emphasis on changes and strategies that have succeeded in improving health outcomes. They examine the progression of public health in Australia since 1900, noting global changes and influences such as the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, and the general transition of focus from the health and wellbeing of individuals to that of population groups including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Students investigate the Australian health system and its role in promoting health and wellbeing. They apply their understanding of successful health promotion campaigns, programs and case studies to evaluate the ability of initiatives to identify priorities and improve health outcomes in Australia.
