What it covers
In this unit, you will examine how individuals make decisions about their health, how health care markets operate, and why they often fail to deliver efficient outcomes. You will explore key topics such as the demand for health services, the role of health insurance, the behaviour of health care providers, and the impact of government policy. You will also study broader issues, including health inequalities, the economics of unhealthy behaviours, and the structure of Australia's health care system.
