The topic provides an introduction to the work of health care professionals in the Australian context. This is achieved firstly, through an introduction to the Australian health care system and secondly, through an examination of the role and function of multidisciplinary care in health care. The topic provides opportunity for examining the work of various health professionals, such as paramedics, allied health, nurses and doctors, through international comparisons. Key issues in professionalisation and accreditation across the states, in hospitals and community settings, including private and public services in both rural and urban areas of the health sector will be examined. The focus is on providing students with a framework for understanding the Australian health care setting and the way in which the various professions operate within the Australian health care system, including their chosen future profession.
