VCE HHD Question Thread!

[MandhreeE]

So Medicare, public health, is funded by the government.  Individuals fund private health insurance - they pay premiums to a health insurance company and then if they have to use certain private services (according to how much they've paid/their level of cover) then the company will pay some of the fees for those services.

Often the government pays some of it (the rebate), which is part of trying to get more people to take out private cover.  Those incentives are just three things the government's introduced to try and get more people to take out private cover.

The govt wants people to pay for private insurance because then they won't use Medicare/the public system so much, which the government has to fund.

> Mono: lowers LDL levels in the blood

> Poly: helps blood circulation (omega 3 fatty acids) and regulates blood pressure/clotting and a healthy immune system (omega 6 fatty acids)

> Saturated: raises LDL levels

> Trans: raises LDL and lowers HDL levels

That's my memory, anyway

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was also wondering if it wasn't to much to ask if i could PM you with some response? it's totally fine if you busy cause their is a few... thank you !!

For NGOs, do we just need to know about 3 or 4 and be able to briefly describe them and what they do?

Hi I've come across a question in my revision booklet and it says 'What is the mission of VicHealth?' And it lists 5 dot points... just wondering how I would go about answering this?

normally these question are assocaiated with a program and ask "how does this program reflect Vichealths mission" here you would use key words from the mission to show this.
SO for example answering your question you would use words like "in parnership with other promotes good health", " recognises that social and economic factors influence health', 'aim to prevent chronic conditions', 'aim to promotes fairness and oppurtunity" this program "supports initiative that assist individuals, workplaces and communites improve wellbeing"

hope this helps

Thank you so much. This helps heaps

What would be some similarities and differences between PHI and PBS?

[Steph.Y]

Do we need to know a separate program safe water and sanitation?

I'm sure others can build on these answers, but:

Why not post the responses here? That way, you're more likely to get a response, and it's of greater benefit for all involved. It may also lighten the load on Heidi a little! (I'll help out if I can; I 50ed, but it was fours years ago.)

For NGOs, do we just need to know about 3 or 4 and be able to briefly describe them and what they do?

I think that would be sufficient.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean. If there's a question that asks for VicHealth's mission, though, that's all you need to provide. From memory, it may have changed a couple of years ago - is this where the confusion comes in? Please pull me up on this; I'm not really sure what you're asking (totally my bad).

Good answer. Depending on how much the question is worth, I might also chuck in relevant examples from the case study (so like, directly quote where relevant).

What would be some similarities and differences between PHI and PBS?

I'm going to palm this one off to the relevant page of the Engage Wiki because it's been a while, and to answer this properly I'd have to go back and revise the material anyway.

Do we need to know a separate program safe water and sanitation?

I can't answer definitively, but I believe my one covered both. If you go in knowing just one and for some reason the exam asks for different ones for safe water and sanitation (unlikely IMO), make it up.

Hello! If you don't mind, could you please give a second opinion on one of my previously answered questions. It's the one regarding how to answer 2-4 mark sustainable human development questions. Thanks

Can someone provide an example of multilateral and NGO aid?

[Lauren Washington]

Can someone provide an example of multilateral and NGO aid?

From my notes I've got;
A NGO Aid program is World Vision or Red Cross
Multilateral Aid program is Australia helping the United Nations to help fund the World Food Programme


Hope this helps

Hola, hola!

how do you answer 2-4 mark sustainable human development questions? Do you just link to sustainability and human development?

Is this it? I don't know, really - I'm not sure that there's a formula as such. I'd be surprised if there were a full-blown SHD question worth only two marks. Regardless, for 2-4 marks I'd personally go something like:

1. Impact on health
2. Subsequent impact on human development
3. Impact on sustainability
4. Tie it all together

I had a habit of over-writing, so I'd probably do that even for a two-mark question just to be sure. I'm happy for this to be disputed, though.

Can someone provide an example of multilateral and NGO aid?

Multilateral aid goes through a third party organisation, such as the World Bank or the UN. So a number of countries might give financial assistance via, say, the UN, who themselves decide how to use it.

NGO aid, on the other hand, aren't provided by bodies such as the World Bank or the UN but, as the name implies, NGOs. They tend to focus more specifically on communities. So this could be something like World Vision Australia providing aid in a small community of Cambodia.

hi guys! how would we explain how DFAT achieves the following priorities? do we just provide like a defintion or do we have to provide actual examples ? (if its just defintion would some please be able to provide some defintions?)
-   Infrastructure, trade facilitation and international competitiveness:
-   Agriculture , fisheries and water:
-   Education and health:
-   Gender equality; empowering women and girls:
-   Building resilience, humanitarian assistance, disaster risk reduction and social protection:
-   Effective governance; policies, institutions and functioning economies:

Thank you

[JaidynLuke]

How would you define aid agencies?

And why do they provide aid?

I haven't learned specific definitions for these -- I just have a general understanding of what they mean (e.g. education and health is about promoting the quality of and accessibility of education and health (such as health professionals, immunisations) in developing countries in order to eradicate poverty and promote health and human development), so I'd also like to know if a strict "definition" is worth knowing.
As for how, when in doubt just say DFAT funds programs associated with promoting these areas (since this is what the priority areas are for) or sends specialised personnel to help promote x. For example, sending trained economists to work with the government of a developing countr in order to address the "functioning economies" part of effective governance.

btw don't take me 100% on this, I'm just basing this off of what I'd do.
