This unit focuses on the role of planning and evaluation in public health. Students will examine various frameworks, theories and methods in order to develop a rationalised and contextualised public health program plan. The strengths and weaknesses of existing public health programs will be critically appraised so that students can co-create best practice planning and evaluation approaches designed to provide sustainable solutions for diverse health issues. This unit will enable students to develop or extend programs that may constitute their existing work in the industry or to develop new opportunities and collaborations that serve and sustain public health efforts in particular settings.

Work done in a remote or online location - students undertake an activity in collaboration or consultation with an industry partner but do not spend any time or only a very small amount of time (e.g. 1-2 short visits) in an actual workplace.
The on-campus seminars are highly interactive and guide students through the content. Students have the opportunity to research concepts, present ideas orally, discuss situations in groups and to develop critical perspectives from written sources. Online students will access eLearning materials via Blackboard. Students are expected to login and participate in collaborative discussion activities during specific weeks and are encouraged to think critically to evaluate problems, analyse literature and to develop critical perspectives from written sources.
