- Semester 1 (February)
Unit synopsis
This unit introduces a number of process analysis techniques used during the design, execution, and post-execution stages of the Business Process Management (BPM) life cycle. BPM provides organisations with the ability to save money and time by systematically documenting, managing, automating, and optimising their business processes. To unlock the true benefits of a process-aware organisation, it is essential that process modelling efforts do not purely remain paper-based but act as the prelude to automated support. The last decade has seen an increased uptake of process automation and workflow technology, which has increased the potential for real, evidence-based analysis associated with the execution of various business processes. By applying techniques such as process verification, process simulation, and process mining, we can gain insights into both the current and future business operations of an organisation, which in turn can lead to continuous process improvement.

- Semester 2 (July)
Unit synopsis
Food is a fundamental human need and a prerequisite to good health. Ensuring that the food we eat is safe is a major function of both government and industry. The food sector is one of the largest industries in Australia, with over 20 billion meals provided each year. Even though the food supply in Australia is one of the safest in the world, government data indicates that each year over 5 million cases of gastroenteritis are believed to be caused by contaminated food (most of these being unreported to health authorities). The aim of this unit is to develop a detailed understanding of food contaminants, food safety principles and legislation and their application so that future health professionals are able to identify and implement processes to ensure a safe food supply and prevent food-borne illness in the community. The material in this unit focuses on food safety regulation, but is also relevant to professionals working in the areas of food service management and nutrition.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and communities experience significant oppression within the Australian context and consequently are over-represented in many of the fields of practice in which social work is engaged. Social work has contributed to this oppression through its implementation of oppressive policies. For social workers to work in an anti-oppressive manner with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples they require an in-depth understanding of colonisation and related oppressive policies and practices, social work's historical role in implementing these policies and practices, contemporary invitations to continue to oppress through practice, and an understanding of how this historical and contemporary context continues to impact on the experiences of many Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Unit synopsis
This unit builds literacy of a range of theories, models and perspectives relevant to critical social work practice. Power, oppression and privilege are key concepts. An historical overview will be provided to contextualise contemporary social work practices. For example, from the Charitable Organisation Society we have inherited case work, from the Settlement Movement we have incorporated neighbourhood work and community work, and from the Fabians, we considered how to use social policy to address major social problems such as poverty, unemployment and homelessness. With the emergence of alternative and critical influences, such as Marxism, feminism and ant-racism from the 1960s, increasing importance was given to environmental factors influencing the life chances of individuals. From these competing perspectives we must be able to coherently articulate our preferred perspectives with explicit reference to social justice and the AASW Code of Ethics.
