Students will be introduced to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (inc. gender equality, climate action), pandemic responses, low and high income countries characteristics, their health status and diseases they experience, factors that influence First Nations Australians and the initiatives implemented to improve their health and wellbeing including using the Ottawa Charter for Health promotion and Australia’s Health Care System. Using The National Health Priorities Areas, students will evaluate the effectiveness of these existing strategies. To conclude the unit, students will research the Australian trends in regards to nutrition status and food selection.
