HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT1
Part 1: Introduction, Overview of Health Program, Project or Service and Population it
serves
The different health programs operating at global and national levels focuses on
solving the most complex health, nutritional and related physical, psychosocial problems
associated with certain communities of specific countries. Many health and nutrition
programs are funded by World Health Organisation and the national authorities of the
country in order to help the impoverished sections of the society, socially distressed societies
with the food, lifestyle and health awareness policies (Cederholm et al. 2019). In scenarios,
where the national government works extensively for the uplift of a certain indigenous
community and prevent certain disease or lifestyle issue in a target population – the national
government has to plan the right policies keeping in consideration the social determinants of
health, the structural determinants of health in order to better the collaboration with
indigenous communication in fostering of a health and nutritional program in a very effective
manner (Hamirudin, Charlton and Walton 2016). It is extremely important that the socio
economic factors and the cultural factors are also considered immensely while the
governmental policy makers concoct the right strategic and tactical policies to counter a
health condition in a target population (Fawcett et al. 2015). The Aboriginal and the Torres
Strait Islander people of Australia is the indigenous community that has suffered from a lot,
over the years and still suffers immensely from health conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus, hypertension and other infectious conditions (which are being aggravated by the
community member’s social habits of smoking, alcohol and other drug addictions) (Pettigrew
et al. 2015). The Australian government in response over the last few decades – has devised
various health promotion strategies in order to better the health conditions of the community
living people, improve their awareness about various lifestyle and other diseases and uplift
the overall conditions of their living habits (Schembri et al. 2016). This analytic study of a

health and nutrition program extended by the Australian government, targeted at the
indigenous population of community living people - uses the EQUITY (Equity, Questioning,
Understanding, Interrelating, Thinking and Your design) methodology to analyse the chosen
SPA (Strategic, Program and Activities) problem.
In this analytic study, ‘The Binbi Meta (Healthy Dwelling) Program’ started by the
Australian government to promote the overall lifestyle and prevent the diseases of the
Aboriginal and the Torres Strait islander people has been discussed thoroughly along with the
EQUITY analysis. The program is developed for Torres Strait, Aboriginal and the South Sea
Islander people residing in the Rockhampton area of Australia’s Queensland in order to help
the Australian community people take ownership along with conscious control over the
overall wellbeing, health by taking the positive lifestyle decisions. This health, nutrition
elevating program provided by the Australian government intends on providing a family-
driven and holistic encompassment of health interventions for young children in their early
lives and also for the adults in Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and the South Sea Islander
community (Luke et al. 2016). The program provides the health and nutrition awareness
services by enhancing the psychosocial, physical, developmental, health and wellbeing
aspects of human living experience of these indigenous community living people. Under the
spectrum of The Binbi Meta (Healthy Dwelling) Program’ - a vast range of community
empowerment and allied health services are covered. The health and life empowerment
program has different set of strategies for the encouragement of the family and individualistic
responsibility taking about their own and family’s health. The intersectoral bonds and
connections are strengthened by the Australian government, under the norms and policies of
this program and the macro-economic policies and the governance along with social and
public policies are fostered towards better collaboration with the non-governmental

people.
‘The Binbi Meta (Healthy Dwelling) Program’ by the Australian Government target
for the lifestyle, health and nutritional improvement of the Torres Strait Islander, South Sea
Islander and the Aboriginal people by strengthening the access of the aboriginal and other
community people to the health care facilities and the health care interventions along with
improvement of their loving (or housing) habits with proper access to occupation and
nutrition. The health and nutritional improvement program named ‘The Binbi Meta (Healthy
Dwelling) Program’ by the Australian government targets at changing the life styles of the
community living people to a better rhythm of occupation, income, dietary intake, health
wellness and disease prevention. The ‘The Binbi Meta (Healthy Dwelling) Program’
improves intersectoral collaboration and social participation through the strategic
incorporation of information, collaboration, consultation, participation and finally
empowerment of the community living people of Australia to create a self-sustainable system
of healthy, disease free dwelling by taking self responsibility and ownership with the young,
middle aged and senior members of South Sea Islander, Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal
people. The ‘The Binbi Meta (Healthy Dwelling) Program’ also supports growth of the
vegetables and fruits in the backyards of participating Aboriginal’s home which is planned by
the policy makers and developers of the program as an important engagement tool. The
health, life and nutrition improvement program also focuses on recycling of the used objects,
storing and the proper handling of food along with the proper awareness building around
energy saving and sustenance of a stable socioeconomic life amongst the Torres Strait
Islander, Aboriginal and South Sea Islander people. There are certain special activities
included in the ‘The Binbi Meta (Healthy Dwelling) Program’ spectrum as well and these
special activities learning and teaching of healthy styles of cooking, provision for home
