2AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY SYSTEM AND POLICY
Introduction
Governance of the health system is comparatively a very new concept and also there
are some gaps regarding its understanding. This report is going to focus on the Public
Hospitals of Australia. It is going to elaborate on describing the framework of the chosen
social institution in the Australian society and demonstrating a clear understanding of the
theoretical underpinnings of the social institution. It would also evaluate the influence and
level of impact of it on the Australian society.
Discussion
Framework of the social institution
The framework of the Public Hospitals of Australia specifies all the requirements which must
be complied by all the HSPs (Health Service Providers) in the Australian society in order to
make sure that there is the people of Australia are getting consistent and effective services all
across the WA heath system (White et al., 2015). It is an organised response provided by the
society in order to promote and protect the health as well as for preventing injury, disability
and illness. The main purpose of this policy framework is to ensure the control of
transmission of infectious disease, prevention of the growth of complications of the chronic
disease and prevention of the diseases right before they take place. It is also aimed at
identifying and responding to the opportunities in order to reduce the issue of inequalities in
the status of health (Germov & Poole, 2015). This framework surrounds seven broad public
health areas and they are-
 Public Health Regulatory
 Disaster Preparedness and Management
 Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
 Medicines and Poisons Management
