<p>This unit enables students to better understand the health status of Australians through examining various health issues, health indicators and in making global comparisons. This unit also discusses health status variations amongst certain population groups and examines efforts in addressing these. The role of government and non-government agencies, both nationally and internationally, are examined in their efforts to address heath issues, with emphasis on being able to describe and evaluate health programs implemented by these agencies. The relationships between health, human development and sustainability are also a key focus.</p>
