This subject allows students to investigate health and development in Australian and global communities. Students will be able to
understand health and human development at an individual level, in group and community settings. The study also promotes the
understanding of nutrition and the role that nutrients play in influencing both health status and individual human development.
Unit Three In this unit students compare the health status of Australia’s population with other developed countries, explain variations in health status of population groups in Australia and discuss the role of
health indicators in improving Australia’s health status. Students discuss and analyse approaches to health and health promotion, and describe Australia’s health system and the different roles of government and non-government organisations in promoting health and healthy eating.
Unit Four In this unit students explore the concept of global health by identifying similarities and differences in the health status between people living in developing countries and Australia. Students explore the role of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, Australian Government’s Aid program and international organisations including the UN and WHO, in achieving sustainable improvements in health and human development.
