Introduction
Healthcare organizations are the essential entities that furnish health services for the
common people. There is the responsibility of the government towards its public to ensure
medical services and satisfy their needs. The health services can be determined as special
position of the society. Therefore, the Australian health organizations have an ethical
esponsibility in every aspect to ensure an adequate health care access to the all people (NSW
Government, 2017). It is the duty of the health organizations in order to establish beneficial
governance mechanisms to contribute in establishing trust and relationship with the patients or
clients in the Australian.
Positioning of the Health Organization and Patients
Positioning of the Health Care Organization in Relation to Service Provision:
The positioning of the health care organization is more prominent in terms of an ethical
environment for the stakeholders. The health care organization is also positioned as managed
care services in order to determine and improve quality of the health care and deliver world class
services to achieve the vision and mission of the organization within the Federal and State level
of the Australian health system (NSW Government, 2017). The positioning has also included as
the management of the appropriate allocation of resources, and responsibility, as well as
accountability for the different stakeholders. The health organization has also proved its
aggressive health care strategy with a good sign of strength and success within the Australian
health services at all levels.
Positioning of the Patients in Relation to Service Provision:
The positioning of the patients within the Australian health system is based on giving
priority to provide all health facilities to gain health as soon as possible. However, patients are

also positioned as receiving free medical and confederate health care from doctors at the federal,
state, te
itory or local level selected by the hospital. Additionally, patients are also positioned as
a multi-faceted and comprehensive approach. Now, this situation helps to meet the health system
needs appropriately. The needs of several residents of Australia are usually shaped by various
and changed factors, such as affordable and accessible in which gender, and age, as well as
ehaviors are considered. On the other side, in the te
itory and local level, the cultural
ackground and socioeconomic of the patients are also included to provide them affordable and
accessible health services. The patient positioning has also included preventing immediate
problems and long-term pain with disabilities.
Obligations:
The positioning of health organization within the overall Australian health system in
elation to obligation or the duties can be considered as focusing towards maintaining standards
of health quality to protect various bad conditions of the patients. The health organization has
also obligations as outlining the health care framework because it is essential to facilitate all
conditions and leading to the foundation of healthy communities in the country (Australian
Institute of Health and Welfare, 2017). Additionally, a public health organization also shows its
obligations as more vulnerable in the context of achieving optimal or most favorable and
desirable health outcomes of the people, such as elderly, and ethnic minorities, as well as
individuals that have special needs. A health care organization is responsible to provide equitable
access of the people to get a healthiness service in any circumstances within the Australian
health system.
Reporting Requirements:

The positioning of health organization in relation to the reporting mechanisms within the
Australian health system can be seen as helping to contribute in tracking and managing the
health condition potential and make a record of possible health risks of the people. In this, public
health organization is mainly responsible to report the conditions of health services to the state or
te
itory health departments in terms of increasing efficiency of the health system and increasing
trust of the stakeholders (Parliament of Australia, 2013). The management of the public health
organization makes a scheduled basis report in case of emergency and send to the state and
te
itory health care department to know the performance of the health organization and fulfill
the requirement in case of facilities’ needs.
