INTRODUCTION
The concept of health and well-being can specifically involve that well-being is a
complete state of mental, physical as well as social well-being and not only the absence of any
specific illness or infirmity. Its concept of well-being can involve a balance among an individual
or an environment, the unity of body and soul as well as well as the natural origin of an illness
was specifically a backbone of the perception of a well-being in past times. In context with
Australia, the healthcare organization within Australia is generally considered as one of the best
and can provide high quality care as well as an affordable care services to the patients and their
families. In this, the Medicare as well as the public healthcare systems can furnish the free as
well as low-cost care assess for every public to most of these effective well-being care services.
In this, the public generally faces various major policy difficulties which are required to address
over the next years such as an enhancing ageing population, an enhanced medical technology
costing, the private as well as public well-being expenditure and many more. In this, there is a
discussion about the health disparities among the Australian people that make a negative
influence over the health of the public. In addition to this, there is also a discussion about the
theories or essential concepts that are needed to overcome the well-being disparities among the
Australian public to improve their well-being and a healthy lifestyle as well (Pulker et. al., 2018).
MAIN BODY
The concept of well-being is not generally a lack of illness but it is specifically a complex
collection of an individual’s emotional, mental as well as the social well-being components. The
concept of health is greatly associated with the happiness as well as the life satisfaction. In this,
there are various elements that make influence over the health and well-being such as:
 Lack of access to the primary well-being care services.
 Reduced standards of the well-being infrastructure within the indigenous communities
such as sanitation, housing, healthy housing and food as well.
In this, there are differences among the Non-Indigenous and Indigenous Australian people within
three key regions that can aid to illustrate a well-documented well-being gap such as:
Social Determinants: In this, the people living in Australia generally involve reduced
levels of education, employment, reduced housing quality as well as poverty as compared with
the Non-Indigenous Australian (Sugiyama et. al., 2018).
