In this unit students investigate the social context to ageing and health. Local and international case studies and relevant research are used to investigate gendered health issues and the process of healthy ageing for men and women. Students examine the emergence and application of women's and men's health philosophies to contemporary health promotion, and consider links between gender and health amongst culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and differing socioeconomic groups. Assessments allow students from a variety of major and minor degree programs to undertake a project in areas relevant to their studies, and to develop creative approaches to health promotion and social policy relating to health and ageing. This unit is essential for students who wish to gain deeper insights into promoting men's and women's health, in the context of an ageing Australian population.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
