The course describes the sources of Australian law (common and civil), outlines the Australian court system and tribunals, and discusses the interpretation of law (cases and statute), in particular focussing on the application of legal principles to medical practice and health care. The interface between ethics and law is explored, with a focus on appropriate practice by medical professionals to maintain the health and well-being of their clients.
