The Assessment Task:
Local government areas (LGA’s) differ across Australia and Victoria. The health needs of a community are quite specific to the area the community is located. To determine what those specific health needs are requires a community analysis inclusive of a review to gain understanding of the complex elements that contribute to the health status within the LGA. You are required to conduct this analysis and review and produce an academic essay about your chosen LGA. You will be given significapt time to gather this information across the semester weeks.
Follow the Community Analysis table below to ensure’you cover the required areas needed to gather your data.
• This is a two-fold assignment • 1. Gather the data using the community analysis table below to create a profile/picture of your chosen LGA across the semester weeks. This will provide you the raw data required to compile your community profile essay. • 2. Decipher if there are any specific health determinants unique to your chosen LGA – example: are there a large portion of the community that suffers from Asthma or respiratory illnesses, and the LGA you are analysing is a farming area with large dust storms each year that are known to exacerbate asthma? • Allow this information to guide your choice of two determinants of health DIFFERENT to those chosen for your reflective video.
Community Analysis: 1. History and physical environment of R Is the area isolated from surrounding towns or the nearest capital city? LGA 2. Demographics including culture and religion 3. Economy and education of the LGA How many schools are in the LGA? What type? 4. Recreation, transport, and safety Is this reflective of the economy?
