This system will be able to better integrate and coordinate the primary health care in local communities. The Australian health system is under strain. As we have heard from the AGPN, Australia has a large amount of users in the Tertiary sector and a large percentage of these have resulted due to a lack of correct intervention and management. With a 3 tiered health system, made up of primary, secondary and tertiary levels it has been shown that consumers are experiencing disconnected and fragmented care, under not just one system but many. This lack of continuity has been shown to lead to poorer health outcomes, as a result of late intervention, focusing on illness rather than wellness and as well as being frustrating to patients and their care providers it increases costs.
Examples of physical disability include * amputation; * arthritis; * cerebral palsy; * upper limbs; * multiple-sclerosis; * muscular dystrophy; * acquired spinal injury (paraplegia or quadriplegia); * post-polio syndrome; * spina bifida. There are many different kinds of disability and a wide variety of situations which people experience. Does this mean you have the disability from birth or childhood? * The disability may exist from birth or be acquired later in life. * A person may have one disability or a number of disabilities.

Core 1 – Health priorities in Australia – ‘Groups experiencing health inequalities’ For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples: 1) Describe the nature and extent of the health inequalities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Health inequity occurs when individuals or communities experience relatively high levels of a disease, or other health issue, due to circumstances which are quite often beyond their control. For example, some groups have shorter life expectancies, poor access to health services, higher levels of avoidable risk factors and/or reduced ability to make healthy lifestyle choices. Inequities refer to situations or actions that lack fairness or justice. Inequities refer to social or economic differences between people or groups.
COMMUNITY ASSIGNMENT- Dajarra Health Profile It is alarming in today’s modern era that residents in rural and regional areas of Australia continue to show poorer health than those Australians who live in metropolitan areas especially those who are of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander demographic where their health status remains unacceptable for the 21st century. Rural areas of Australia are continuing to experience difficulties in recruiting and retaining adequately trained health professionals with residents facing difficulties accessing health services. This report will discuss the outback Queensland community, Dajarra and investigate the health profile of the town which includes cultural diversity, potential health threats and raise
The conditions of the houses were very poor; they were mostly made out of cheap materials, were very small and packed closely together. The houses were small firstly to fit more houses into an area (creating more homes) and secondly because a small place and a house built with cheap materials was all the working class families could afford. In conclusion Australia in the 1900 was far from a ‘working man’s paradise’. This can be said because compare to today’s standards, the living and working conditions were quite poor. They received unfair pay, had horrid living and working conditions and worked longer hours compared to today.
The disabilities act was established to help facilitate the disabled and their needs to maintain in society. There are people, who are truly disabled in this world, but they go about their day like any other person, some look at this as a noble act but at times this plays as a disadvantage. Then sometimes I run into people that may exaggerate their condition and take advantage of some of the resources that are not a necessity (like the pregnant or someone with a broken leg). The resources given to the disabled need to truly be used for the disabled and not for the rest of society, but this does not give the disabled the power to abuse these resources or act like they are above the rest of society. Every year companies and states officials spend thousands if not millions to accommodate the disabled.
There are significant disparities in the health status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders and other Australians. Especially to the elderly Aboriginal people, health is strongly associated with age; old people experience higher rates of disability, chronic illness and reported ill-health (Australian Statistician, 2006). Type 2 diabetes is one of the major public health issues affects the elderly Aboriginal people and the risk of developing diabetes relates complications resulting in a significant burden of disease in terms of mortality, hospitalizations and a range of financial and human costs. Today Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders constitute 2.6% of Australians population and suffer more ill health than any other Australian
