Which combination of factors most likely contributes to the health inequities experienced by people living in remote Australian communities?

  1. Lower levels of education and more GPs per person than in cities
  2. Longer travel distances to healthcare and higher median incomes
  3. Shortages of healthcare workers and higher rates of school completion
  4. Healthcare services concentrated in major cities and lower median incomes

\(D\)

Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct. Healthcare services are concentrated in major cities which limits access for remote residents. Combined with lower median incomes, this makes it harder to afford travel, treatment and preventive care.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect – Lower education levels do contribute, but remote areas have fewer GPs per person than cities, not more.
  • B is incorrect – Longer travel distances are a real barrier, but median incomes generally fall as remoteness increases.
  • C is incorrect – Healthcare worker shortages are a real barrier, but school completion rates are lower in remote areas.

A rural community implements free driving lessons for Aboriginal youth. This initiative would most directly support which SDG outcomes?

  1. SDG 4 by reducing inequities in imprisonment, and SDG 10 by building job-ready skills
  2. SDG 4 by building job-ready skills, and SDG 10 by reducing inequities in imprisonment
  3. SDG 4 by building job-ready skills, and SDG 11 by reducing inequities in imprisonment
  4. SDG 3 by building job-ready skills, and SDG 10 by reducing inequities in imprisonment
Show Answers Only

\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct. Driving lessons build practical, job-ready skills that support employment (SDG 4). Helping young people get licensed legally also reduces the over-representation of Aboriginal youth in the justice system for driving offences, which addresses unequal outcomes (SDG 10).

Other options:

  • A is incorrect – The SDGs are reversed. Building skills belongs to SDG 4, and reducing inequities in imprisonment belongs to SDG 10.
  • C is incorrect – Reducing inequities in imprisonment is a reduced inequalities outcome (SDG 10), not a sustainable cities outcome (SDG 11).
  • D is incorrect – Building job-ready skills is an education outcome (SDG 4), not a health outcome (SDG 3).
