A recent study determined that "for some individuals, difficulty in accessing bulk-billing services and increasing out-of-pocket costs in Australia limit affordability of health services, including medications" (Walkom, Loxton, Robertson, 2013, p
In addition, these medical institutions also receive subsidies from the government so that they can provide the healthcare services at a lower cost. (Bennett, 2009) Three branches of government control the public sector: the commonwealth, the state government and the local government

The system has gone through many reforms and has certainly improved during the last two decades. (Hilless & Healy, 2001) Overview and Structure The Australian healthcare system, as mentioned earlier, is funded by the taxes
In addition to that, the Australian healthcare system should also pay attention to the problem of discrimination and tackle it. (Leeder, 1999) Secondly, medical technology is another important issue that the Australian healthcare system should take care of
Although private hospitals do not take emergency cases and are generally smaller in size as well, but the numbers are increasing because of large corporate parties funding in hospitals for profits. (Nicholson & Jackson et al
In addition, the system also covers the asylum seekers and undocumented migrants with the latter getting help mostly from the NGO's. (Thomson & Osborn et al
A well lit room generally registers in the mind that the room is well ventilated and is spacious however little the space might be which therefore calls for proper and well laid furniture which do not confine both the employees and the service seekers to scramble for space. Both parties should feel comfortable and some level of privacy achieved to boost the level of confidence in such set ups where all the consumers and service providers can both see one another or are in direct contact as is the case in a coffee shop (Christopher Lovelock and Jochen Wirtz, 2004)
The two providers are from two different industries and serve different needs in the market. Gloria Jean's Coffees is one of the top coffee retailers around the world and is considered one of the fastest growing franchise organizations in Australia with its origin from the United States of America in Chicago in 1979 (Gloria Jean's Coffees International, 2012)
Certain features or colours or general office outlay may derive pleasure which can be related to the ambiance brought about by different themes which are expressed through the use of color and the environment in general. Arousal on the other hand can be best described in terms of the degree of the information load, it varies in surprises or the unexpected and the complexities involved (Jochen Wirtz, 1994)
Different individuals subject to their own personal experiences and interactions with the environment respond differently to the external stimuli. There are certain aspects of emotions to the environment which are perceived to be common among people from different cultures while others are culture specific or are used by people from a specific region (Maria Lewicka Et al, 1989)

While these prisons house many Indigenous inmates, they have not addressed their specific cultural needs, which have significantly contributed to structural racism. Notably, the concept of structural racism does not imply that individual staffs have racist or discriminatory beliefs or attitudes but is generally looks to outcomes instead of intentions (Harding, 2008)
As long as these two vital aspects of this group are ignored or disregarded, it's extremely difficult to satisfy duty of care. Sense of Belonging or Solidarity: Similar to other vulnerable groups, the Australian indigenous community has a common set of values and behavioral norms that promote cooperation and problem solving (Lodder, 2003)
Secondly, long-distance transport contributes to the death of these inmates like in 2008 when it resulted in the painful death of an indigenous prisoner in extreme temperature of 42-degrees. Necessary Considerations to Satisfy the Duty of Care: As the oldest inhabitants of the Australian society, the indigenous people are one of the oldest living cultures across the globe (Schnierer, 2010)
