This assignment presents a reflective analysis of the Australian healthcare system, drawing on a personal experience of hospital admission and subsequent community nurse visits. The reflection explores the patient-centered care provided, the accessibility of services, and the financial aspects of healthcare, highlighting the importance of insurance and payment models. It further examines the awareness and access to primary health care services for diverse populations, including Indigenous and migrant communities, and discusses the role of awareness groups and online platforms like Healthdirect. The assignment also addresses the impact of poverty and social determinants on healthcare access, particularly in rural areas, and calls for concerted efforts to combat poverty and ensure affordable healthcare for all. The analysis references key literature on primary health care, social determinants of health, and the Australian healthcare context.
