This subject provides opportunity for students, as professionals working in multidisciplinary environments, to explore the promotion and maintenance of health and wellbeing for children to ensure they reach their potential. Students will interrogate 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 with particular attention to rural settings.
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 professional knowledge and experience to include the health care of First Nations children and their children in the first two years of life.
