health care policies

Details
This assessment provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of how health
care policies are constructed. You are required to analyse the process of health care policy
development with reference to ONE policy or one component of a policy within the Australian health
care system. The policy could be one that has been developed for the Health Care System in general.
Alternately, you may choose a policy that has been developed specifically for your immediate work
context. This policy may be one that has been developed to support the implementation of a
government policy. The required readings and learning activities in the Study Guides for Module 1

suggestion for how best to approach and conduct a policy analysis and critique. Please see the
