Context:
Australia’s health system is complex with a number of different services, providers, recipients and organisational structures. This assessment explores the many components of the Australian health system and how they are organised. This assessment is aimed at developing the students understanding of the governmental levels and responsibilities involved in the healthcare system in Australia. Presenting this information in the form of a table, diagram or infographic allows students to assess large amounts of complex information and effectively communicate it using a combination of symbolism, graphics and text.
By prescribing this assessment, students are able to further enhance their multimodal communication skills, as well as building on their ability to transfer and communicate knowledge in a clear and concise format.
