Hey everyone :)

Just wondering - how are the PBS and NDIS funded?
From my understanding, the PBS is funded through general taxation and the NDIS is funded through a combination of federal and state/territory funds? Is this correct?

Also, I've read that the Medicare levy was increased by 0.5% (from 2% to 2.5%) to fund the NDIS, but this has confused me because we've been taught in class, through our textbook and on Edrolo that the Medicare levy is 2%.

Thank you!

Hello! :)

You are 100% correct about the ways the NDIS and PBS are funded. Just one small note is that the PBS is funded by the Commonwealth / federal government through taxes (at least according to my teacher), but this is extra nit picky. You could probably get away with what you stated.

About the Medicare levy percentage, I think your Edrolo / textbook / teacher is correct.


Hope this helps! :)

A double burden results in a rise in both communicable and non-communicable disease.

Hi Em!

A simple definition of double burden of disease is where conditions associated with poverty and conditions associated with wealth exist at the same time in a community. For example, undernutrition and obesity.

In a middle-income country, there may be people who are in extreme poverty and lack the income to purchase nutritious food, which can lead to undernutrition.

On the other hand, the migration of people from rural areas to major cities increases access to, and therefore consumption of energy-dense processed foods.

Hope this helps :)

Edit: the above poster beat me to it, but I'll leave this here :)

Do we need to know all of the Sustainable Development Goals, or just the ones specifically outlined in the study design? My teacher says we should know the names of all the SDGs but there's just so many!

Hi there!
For the exam, we need to know the interrelationships between SDG 3 and SDGs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 13. I'm not sure why your teacher has asked you to remember the names of all of them!

Hope this helps :)

If something is outside the specifically listed scope of the study design, you NEVER need to know it.  Unless they say that you need an overall understanding of all SDGs, you don't. 

I'm not saying it's good for actual LEARNING, because it isn't, but for good *scores*, you're wise to focus on study-design-mandated information to the exclusion of everything else.  You're wise to have a vague acquaintance with other things, but no more.

For HHD, I'd recommend structuring your notes and study entirely around the study design.

Maternal and child health:
With increased efforts, to provide greater access to safe pre-natal services and more health professionals to help deliver safe births, there will be a reduced maternal mortality rate, therefore fewer mothers will become sick or injured, thereby promoting physical health and wellbeing.
Communicable diseases:
With greater efforts to improve education in low-income countries, this will result in more individuals practising safe sex, and therefore reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS thus less individuals will become sick or immunocompromised, thereby promoting physical health and wellbeing.
Non-communicable diseases:
Make investment in providing a range of mental health services that are accessible to all, thus more people will receive the services and education they need to look after their mental health, thereby reducing stress and anxiety and therefore promoting mental health and wellbeing

Try to think of your own examples :)
