What will I learn?
Learners will investigate health in the context of Personal Health, Australian Health and Global Health. This approach using layered perspectives provides a continuum of learning where learners will develop the knowledge, skills and understanding to enable a global perspective of health.
Health is a dynamic and multidimensional state encompassing physical, social, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions and environmental determinants. These elements interact to impact on health at a personal, local, national and global level.
The interrelationship of these elements are reflected in a social view of health where principles of equity, diversity, social justice and supportive environments are fundamental to health. The way many people live in the twenty-first century is influenced by continuous and rapid change. This is characterised by ever expanding technologies, social networking, shifting community values, emerging environmental and sustainability issues and the distribution of wealth across developed and developing countries.
