This unit builds upon previously introduced material in HSH114: Introduction to Human Services, and addresses key operational issues for human services (health/welfare). The unit will cover contemporary organisation theory and provide an overview of the existing and emerging human services systems within Australia. This unit will also develop students' understanding of economic appraisal and explain the strengths, weaknesses and role of economic appraisal as an aid to health service design. In addition, policies and legislation that underpin the system, and economic and management practices relevant to service design and delivery are explored. -- Course Website
