This subject will apply an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health and wellbeing of people, animals and ecosystems (One Health) to address emerging public health threats. The key guiding principles are collaboration, coordination, communication, co-design and capacity building. These will be used to engage and mobilise multiple sectors, disciplines and communities for the response to, management of, and recovery from emerging public health threats. An interdisciplinary academic team will facilitate students to apply systems and transdisciplinary thinking in response to existing and emerging global and local health threats.
