1. Describe two explanations for a contemporary Australian social issue identified in this unit.
2. Identify the level of government that is constitutionally responsible for this social issue and the Commonwealth State arrangements for the associated social policy.
3. Identify and describe one current policy response to that social issue.
The explanations for the problem can be identified through the Essential reading and/ or the journal articles.
The social issues can be framed in the language of your explanations but need to be covered in this unit; for example, poverty, inequality, family-based issues such as violence or harm to children, youth issues, mental health or problematic drug and alcohol use. You can also narrow down your topic by examining the issue in relation to a particular group based on for example, location (rural or remote), gender, age, non-English-speaking migrants, or Indigenous Australians.
