<p>Improve your understanding of public policy and develop an understanding of the processes through which governments create policies which are in the interests of the general public. In this subject you will examine Australian social and public policy via concepts of the Australian Settlement, the Welfare State, and Neoliberalism. You will use contemporary case studies to examine how ideology shapes government policy decisions and outcomes. You will also examine the policy context from the perspective of policy actors. You will reflect on major developments in Australian social policy in comparison with overseas trends, with an aim toward analysing the major socio-economic policy issues in both an Australian and international context.</p>

<p>This subject provides you with a comprehensive working knowledge of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and its implications legally, socially and politically in the disability sector. It calls on experts in the field of disability law and Not for Profit organisations to better inform and involve your learning. You will develop your understanding of human rights for persons with disabilities, as well as organisational aspects of business development for service providers, and legal issues relevant to appeals from participants to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. You will explore the legislative implementation and structure of the scheme, the Policy underpinnings, and issues that may arise. In doing so, you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to enable you to effectively implement legislative requirements. You will also examine the constitutional foundations of the NDIS, and the rationale of the bilateral agreements, and the States&#39; referral of powers to the Commonwealth.</p>
