This subject provides the opportunity for students, as professionals working in multidisciplinary environments to explore the promotion and maintenance of health and wellbeing for children to ensure that they reach their potential. Students will review and critique evidence-informed practices and frameworks to meet the healthcare needs of children with illness, injuries, disabilities, and those affected by maltreatment. Child healthcare will be considered across global, national and local healthcare contexts.
Students will explore a range of multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary frameworks for care; theories and strategies for optimising growth and development; theories and strategies to acknowledge the rights of the child and child safety. Students will extend their existing knowledge and experience to include the healthcare of First Nations children in family contexts.
