1 Portfolio
HHSM20001. Australian Health Care Structures
Portfolio requirements
The portfolio is 60% of your mark. The portfolio is completed each week and is made up of tasks and activities relating to the learning material, from week 1 – 11. The portfolio is due in its completion at the end of Week 11. The due date for the portfolio is listed under the ‘assignment tab’.
The portfolio tasks related to learning outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The portfolio requires you to answer questions, complete tasks and activities. You will see portfolio tasks introduced throughout the reading material. A summary of tasks is listed at the end of each week, after the recommended reading section. It is suggested that you keep a separate word document where you will develop your portfolio.
Each week the word count for the portfolio is 500 words with a variation of +/- 10%. For example, if you had three portfolio tasks for the week, you would need to divide the words accordingly and the total word count for all three combined tasks would equal 500 (+/- 10%) words. For example – you may decide to divide the word count like this;
Task 1 – 200 words
Task 2 – 200 words
Task 3 – 100 words
Total words = 500 words
A marking guide is used to assess your knowledge and application of portfolio tasks. You are expected to use references to show a wide breadth of reading in regard to the task requirements.
What to include when you submit your portfolio
Your portfolio tasks should be submitted online under the tab ‘assignment’ at the end of week 11. While you compile the portfolio tasks, please name the week and the task you are writing about. For example: Week 4, Task 2. Write a heading describing what task you are completing - Describe the social factors influencing female breast cancer mortality in Brazil. Describe barriers to understanding the extent of breast cancer mortality across Brazil and what considerations could be measured to achieve equitable health care.
When you submit the portfolio in its completion, please include:
Please include;
· Your name
· The course code
· Your student number
· The date submitted
Your portfolio should be in Calibri 11 or Times New Roman 12 and double spaced

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
