Introduction:
In terms of the industry Health Care management is a rapidly growing system with different
branches developing out of the main root. There have been several new programs adopted by
the government in order to improve the healthcare system in Australia. Australia is said to
have a very extensive health prevention system and the central organizations are bound to
abide by the rules and regulations set up by the government. Overall the health care
management program has grown by 50% in the last decade from $113 billion to about $170
billion. Australia has experienced a population growth of 17% during this time period.

the different departments. The different departments are run by specialists in the field who
look after a particular department to oversee the proper functioning of the units. It is a
complex task to run a central organization. Coordination is one of the most vital capacity that
the professionals should have in order to properly function in this area.
