Description:
This task is a work-integrated-learning (WIL) task, in collaboration with a community health organization based
on real issues relevant to their catchment (geographic area or region).
Before you can design and implement exciting and innovative health promotion programs in communities, you
first need to understand exactly what the main health issues of concern to the community are, what the
determinants of the issue are (ie: what factors are causing the health problems), what resources the community

has or doesn’t have to address the issues, what (if anything) is currently being done to address the issues, and
what the barriers and challenges to addressing the issues are. Only then can you ensure that any program you
design will be relevant and appropriate to the particular community, and meet their needs. This is the first step
in designing community health programs, and is called a situation assessment.
This task will involve working in collaboration with a practitioner in a community-based health agency on an
issue or case study real and current to them (the community they serve). The task involves gathering and
synthesising secondary information (from websites, journals, etc.) and primary information (original information

collected first hand by the agency) about the issues.
A key focus of the task is to develop your understanding of the processes and methods involved in conducting
a situation analysis so that you can competently undertake a situation analysis in practice in response to a
variety of different issues and contexts.
At the end of the task, you will have produced a summary document that provides a clear overview of the
community health situation – what the concerning health issue is and what’s causing it in the local community,
what is currently being done to address it, what more needs to be done to address it (ie: where the current gaps
and needs are for more health promotion action), and importantly, a discussion of the methods and sources of
information used and what other methods could be employed.
