In this third edition of Understanding the Australian Health Care System, authors Eileen Willis, Louise Reynolds and Helen Keleher introduce the reader to the key issues and theoretical concepts that provide insight into the way the Australian health care system is organised and how policy change impacts the health care profession.
The third edition has been comprehensively revised, but continues to focus on the role and function of the health professional working within the Australian health care system.
