...Student’s Name Instructor’s Name Course Date Reflection Portfolio on Personal Values and NSW Health Values Introduction Values are important in any organization. Values give an organization credibility in the eyes of its clients. Promotion of ethical values is a role of every stakeholder of the organization. At New South Wales (NSW) Health and private employers ensure promotion of value through adherence to their value statements. This reflection portfolio evaluates the said values assuming that one works within that organization. In order to perform this reflection, one has to make sure that personal values are not compromised by the employer. Compromise may hinder independent comparison of one’s personal values and those of NSW Health. This work will analyze the influence of these values on health teams and demonstrate how NSW Health leaders may use these values to impact effectively on patient’s healthcare. An independent evaluator needs to follow the criteria that ensure professional practice. I adopted my values in a collage characterized by strong family bondage and commitment, sharing, love, happiness and family pets. This collage values happiness, wealth and family bondage than other matters in life. I express my vision for a happy family, values and goals to measure progress. My vision aims to ensure family safety, health and togetherness. In order to have a happy family, one must attend to all their needs including...

...visas under its Humanitarian Program ( Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, 2003). In keeping with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) guidelines, priority was given to the resettlement of people from Africa, with this group comprising 47% of all humanitarian entrants (Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, 2003). Humanitarian immigrants present higher levels of stress and socialisation problems when compared to other migrant entrants (MacLennan, 1997). A significant portion of humanitarian entrants have ran from circumstances involving great violence and exhibit trauma, economic turmoil, loss of family and social networks, and significant breaks from education or work (Kline &Mone, 2003). Refugees tend to have experienced war and famine (Adams et al, 2004) and these experiences have led them to experience substantially trauma, involving physical and mental torture, sexual abuse, and other distressing conditions (Neuner et al, 2004). According to Farwell (2004), experiencing trauma during war and economic troubles leads to their mental turmoil. Experiencing and witnessing violence is connected to an array of various deliberating psychological effects such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder (Silove, 2001). Psychological distress related to psychosomatic disorders, grief and questioning the meaning of life areexhibited to a lesser extend as a result of such experiences...

...Assignment: Job Fair Brochure Bus/210 John Chandler 04/14/2012 Katurah Allen This discussion will describe the structure, business model, and culture of a selected business. There will be a justification for why each element was selected, and an explanation of how each choice of elements will impact the chosen business. A business model is like any other model; it represents and summarizes how whole businesses do business. The business model explains, in summary, the fundamental nature of the business and how the business makes money, without having to share complexities of strategies,” processes, units, rules, hierarchies, workflows, and systems” (Business Model Designs and Innovation, 2005, p.1). For example, the business that I choose is a Geriatric Health Club and Daycare. The company makes money by offering wellness and exercise services to senior citizens all over the Merrillville community; for a reasonable amount of money. The fundamental nature of the club is to encourage the elderly, ages 55 and older, to continue to live a healthier and active life, by offering leisure activities, social interaction with their peers, nutrition education, and exercise (Business Model Designs, and Innovation, 2005). The business model was chosen because research, indicates that “High-intensity resistance exercise training is a feasible and effective means of counteracting muscle weakness and physical frailty in very elderly people. In contrast, multi nutrient supplement...

...Structure & Development of the New South Wales (NSW) Primary Curriculum The New South Wales Primary Curriculum provides the framework for the outcomes based education currently in use in all Public schools in New South Wales. This essay will present a brief overview of the structure, definition, goals, influences, processes and show how it meets the needs of current and future learners. Drawing from various sources, an examination of the curriculums content and foundation, will provide a snapshot of where the educational direction is headed. Curriculum Structure and Development In 2004 the Board of Studies NSW developed the consultation paper, Defining Mandatory Outcomes in the K–6 Curriculum, which also involved surveys, submissions and state-wide consultation meetings with teachers across NSW. This process helped to bring about the current NSW Primary Curriculum Foundations Statements. Collaborating with teachers and educational professionals the statements developed by the board of studies NSW give clear direction of what must be taught through each of the stages of learning in the K-6 curriculum (The Board of Studies NSW, 2007). The NSW Primary Curriculum is structured into six key learning areas (KLA’s), English; Mathematics; Science and Technology; Human Society and its Environment; Creative Arts; and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE). The KLA’s, along with the syllabus, remain at the core of planning and programming, and are broken...

...busiTAFE NSW Higher Education A student’s basic guide to bibliographies and referencing: Harvard Style Version: February 2012 www.highered.tafensw.edu.au TAFE NSW - Technical and Further Education Commission CRICOS Provider Code 00591E Last revised: February 2012 Page 1 of 10 Why reference Most of the work you produce requires referencing to demonstrate that you have researched and considered the ideas of others in researching your topic or presenting your argument. Referencing is also necessary because it prevents you from ‘plagiarising’ which can lead to an automatic fail result. Plagiarism is using someone else’s thoughts, words or ideas and writing them as if they were your own. It is technically stealing and is a breach of ethics. Referencing tells the reader where the original idea can be found. What should be referenced? Anything that you have read or heard that has influenced your writing: • A concept or idea • A paraphrased quote • A direct quote • Personal communication • Class notes • Script or screenplay • A contestable argument General knowledge does not need to be referenced, for example: Canberra is the capital of Australia. But if you read that ‘The Yass – Canberra plains were chosen because of the snow in Dalgety …’ this would have to be referenced. A contestable argument that would need to be referenced may be: It is a fact that Lady Denman, rather than the Surveyor Scrivener actually proclaimed the name Canberra. In-text...

...[pic] A short history of the systematic Removal of Aboriginal Children from their Families in NSW. “Indigenous children have been forcibly separated from their families and communities since the very first days of the European occupation of Australia” obtained from the Bringing Them Home Report Who are the Stolen Generations The term ‘stolen generations” is in reference to those Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed, as children, from their families and communities by government, welfare and affiliated church organisations. These children were systematically placed into institutional care or with non-Indigenous foster families. Although it can be argued that the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children began as early as the very first days of European occupation in Australia, the forced removal policies and legislation began in the mid 1800s and continued until the 1970s. There is current discourse in Aboriginal communities supporting the notion that the removal of Aboriginal children from their families and communities continues to exist today in the form of complexities associated with current government policies and legislation and the over representation of Aboriginal children in out of home care. How and why do we know the forcible removal of Aboriginal children occurred in NSW? New South Wales, along with other Australian state and territory governments have acknowledged past practices and policies...

In recent years, this type of terminology has begun to be used globally. (Hannam & Ateljevic 2009) A backpacker can be defined as “a traveler aged 15 years or above who spent at least one night in night in either backpacker or hostel accommodation during travel in Australia”. (Tourism Victoria 2009) From an economic and management perspective, backpacker tourism has the potential to develop into another important market niche. (Hannam & Ateljevic 2009) Backpacker tourism is a major growth market in Australia, which is stimulated by the desire for new experiences and learning about other places and cultures. As a result, backpackers tend to have more...

...Designed by Henry Walsh and completed in 1915, the building was made to facilitate and bring order to Sydney and Australia’s maritime activity. The building has held significance in the areas of trade, military, immigration and culture. Even prior to this the site had many uses for aborigines such as a burial site and the new European colonisers. After its use expired the building was saved from destruction and refurbished into an area of thriving restaurants, accommodation and art, making it a must visit destination for locals and tourists. The Finger Wharf’s foremost significance was in trade. The Sydney Harbour Trust’s main objective for the building was to control the trade in Sydney’s waters. Even prior to the completion of the building shipping had already begun trading on the site in 1912. With its completion in 1915 the building played a significant role in the development of the young Australian and local economies particularly its role in the “long boom.” The building to facilitate its important role in trade was equipped with some of the first ever-electrical lifts, cranes and conveyor belts in NSW. While wool was a key part of the economic activity at the Finger Wharf, agricultural goods such as wheat and dairy from the country areas of NSW were more prevalent. These products were the essence of Australia’s growing economy and exports. In return through the finger wharf, imports were received mainly products and manufactured goods. The Finger Wharf also has...

Ms Myra Cheng is a Research & Policy Officer with Privacy NSW, the Office of the NSW Privacy Commissioner. The authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Dr Ben Searle, Macquarie University, in providing an overview of the relevant literature from the field of organisational psychology.

As long as there has been employment, employees have been monitored.
