1HEALTH OF INFANT, CHILDREN AND YOUTH
This essay analyses the recent researches, which describes, the strategy of Australia to
reduce the risk of future health issues within the framework of health promotions, risk, safety
and risk management. The early health habits of the children provide the base for their future
health and wellbeing. Health hazards in the childhood and the adolescence may affect the
health of their independent adulthood. They will also can be changed in their social life for
their health issues. In the following paragraphs, it is explained the strategies to keep the
future hazards away and how legal cultural and ethical factors contribute in this strategy
under standard two. The main criteria that is under focus in this article is the effective
communication. The article also discusses the role of a registered nurse with the reference of
NMBA (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia) Registered Nurse Standard for Practice
(Betancourt et al. 2016).
The Australian government is always on the surge to find strategies to ensure a better
future for its citizens. In order to provide promising health to the children and young adults,
the government supplied with various kind of plans within the framework of health
promotions, risk, quality and risk management (Foster et al. 2015). The recent research
supports that by using all these strategies, the government is achieving its target towards the
promising health of its citizen. The Australia Health Promotion Association (AHPA) main
governing body for health promotions in Australia. They ensure that the health promotions
obey the Ottawa charter and everyone can understand the motive of these promotions and
they can be aware of their health concerns. The health promotions are committed to the
ethical practice of supporting culturally informed and safe practice; health equity; innovative
and evidence-informed approaches and collaboration. The quality of the healthcare industry
means the best possible outcomes of the healthcare industry and safety defines as the risk
reduction. The quality and the safety is interlinked, to increase the quality risks need to be
reduced. The risk management for reducing risk and providing safety and quality of the

treatment involves, the health care workers need to address the issues and supports the causes
that can cause a compromise in patient's safety. The systems required to be checked regularly
to reduce the risk of any patient health due to any system failure. Reporting an event that may
lead to escalation can assure the quality improvement of the medical practice (Wildevuur and
Simonse 2015).
Keeping the ethical, legal and cultural values of the children and the young adult in
mind can increase the healthcare quality of any medical care centre under the consent of
children and young people. The children, unlike adults, do not develop in the separation.
They are habituated to live with family members and thus that provide them with cultural
values. They are easily influenced by behaviour and communication ways of the adults. It is
difficult to draw any relationship between the cultural and religious considerations of one's
life with their healthcare service, but a children’s good health can be considered easily
influenced by such factors. Children develop their ability of identifying the positive person,
complicatedly based on the bonding of dependent and interdependent relationships with their
guardian and family. It also includes their cultural and religious values. It is very unrealistic
and unhelpful to not consider these factors in the healthcare of the young patients. Australian
government evaluated some carefully judged legislations for the health care of the children
and young people (O'hagan et al. 2014). There are several acts such as the Code of Health
and Disability Services Consumers rights, Health (immunization) Regulations, Privacy Act
and The Health Information Privacy Code and Mental Health Act. All these acts ensure
proper and safe treatment of the children and the young adults. These acts assure that the
choices of the children can get enough attention and if the young and the children think that
there is a breach of this law, he or she can complain about this. Immunised law guarantees
that all children should have their immunized certificate to show that they are safe for the
other children of the society (Reed, Fitzgerald and Bish 2015). A medical officer checks the
