QUESTION 1
What are the Australian Privacy Principles and what do they cover?
There are 13 Australian Privacy Principles and they govern standards, rights and
obligations around:
 The collection, use and disclosure of personal information
 An organisation or agency’s governance and accountability
 Integrity and correction of personal information
 The rights of individuals to access their personal information
The Australian Privacy Principles are principles-based law. This gives an organisation or

agency flexibility to tailor their personal information handling practices to their business
models and the diverse needs of individuals. They are also technology neutral, which
allows them to adapt to changing technologies.
A breach of an Australian Privacy Principle is an ‘interference with the privacy of an

individual’ and can lead to regulatory action and penalties.
QUESTION 2
Provide an example to explain informed consent.
Informed consent means that a person understands their health condition and what the
proposed treatment is. The person receiving treatment or their authorised agent always
makes the final decision. They have the legal right to refuse consent or
withdraw consent for any proposed treatment.
QUESTION 3
Provide three examples of how you would protect client or customer information.
Keep clients informed regarding their medical condition and involve the client, family
and/or carer in decision-making. Maintain the client's privacy during consultation and
treatment; ensure that curtains, doors and window blinds are closed.
 Create a client contact sheet.

 Create a physical file
 Add information to electronic contact database
QUESTION 4
a) What is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Who uses this?
The Universal Declaration begins by recognising that 'the inherent dignity of all members of

the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world'. It declares that human
rights are universal – to be enjoyed by all people, no matter who they are or where they live
Nearly every state in the world has accepted the Declaration. It has inspired more than 80 international
conventions and treaties, as well as numerous regional conventions and domestic laws. It has been the
catalyst for improving human rights protections for groups such as disabled people, indigenous peoples and
women.
b) What is meant by ‘human needs’? What are the basic needs?
The human needs are certainty, variety, significance, love and connection, growth and

contribution.
Basic needs is: -
 Good Food
 Human Interaction

ASSESSMENT TASK 2: CASE STUDIES
TASK SUMMARY:
You are to complete the questions that follow each case study.

 Access to textbooks and other learning materials
 Access to a computer and the Internet (if you prefer to type your responses).

 You will do this task in your own time.
If your assessor marks any of your answers as incorrect, they will talk to you about resubmission. You will
need to do one of the following:
 Answer the questions that were incorrect in writing.
 Answer the questions that were incorrect verbally.
CASE STUDY 1 – NORNI AND JIM
Norni and Jim talked frankly about ageing and death long before either of them reached old age. They
both agreed that they did not want to be kept alive artificially and that they would like to refuse treatment
when they no longer had a good quality of life.
When Jim entered residential aged care he specified his wish which was recorded on his file. His wife had
a medical power of attorney for him so that she could make decisions about his treatment if he was not
able.
After a period of time his health worsened. He no longer knew his wife and suffered pain and discomfort.
He suffered many chest infections.
After one particularly bad chest infection Norni spoke to Jim’s doctor and said that she no longer wanted
his chest infections to be treated with antibiotics. The doctor knew Jim’s wishes and agreed that this was
what he would have wanted.
His next chest infection was his last. He died peacefully and with dignity.
One of the personal care workers was heard to say in the staff room, ‘I can’t believe the doctor didn’t give
Jim antibiotics. He would have been alive now if he had. That’s malpractice! His wife probably just wanted
his money quicker.’

1. How has the personal care worker breached ethical requirements?
2. What would have been the ramifications if Jim had been given antibiotics against the instructions of his
wife?

3. How did the personal care worker’s values differ from those of Norni, Jim and the doctor?
4. What action should be taken by the person who heard the personal care worker’s comments?
Your answer to each question 

CASE STUDY 2 – MARIA AND MARCUS
Maria and Marcus work with people with disabilities in respite care. Recently Maria asked her friend and
work colleague, Marcus, what is the matter. He has been very pre-occupied lately and it is starting to show
in his work. He is short with the clients and really lost his cool when two of the clients were arguing at lunch
time. Maria has also noticed that he seems to be distancing himself from the clients sometimes. Yesterday
Keith was getting very frustrated when he couldn’t do up his buttons – normally Marcus is very good with
Keith and takes time to talk to him and reduce his frustration levels but yesterday Marcus just walked out of
the room and told Keith to get Maria to help him.
Marcus decides to confide in Maria but makes her promise not to tell anyone what has happened. He has
been charged with assault following a pub brawl which resulted in the person being seriously injured. He
has spoken to a lawyer who has advised that it will definitely go to court but it will be some time before his
case is heard – probably more than 12 months. He insists it wasn’t his fault – the other guy was being an
absolute idiot in the pub and pushed Marcus until he lost his temper and hit him.
Marcus is worried sick about what will happen when he has to go to court. But he is also worried about his
job now. He knows he should declare the charges to his supervisor but he is sure that he will not be
allowed to continue at work due to the seriousness of the charges. He needs the job so he will be able to
show in court that his is gainfully employed, and also so he can pay for his legal costs.
Maria gives him a hug and feels very bad for Marcus. Marcus tells her that he is taking a week’s leave to
sort things out and that Maria must keep it a secret. Maria knows she should not do that. It all seems very
unfair and now she has a problem too.
Advise what you would do in Maria’s position.

CASE STUDY 3 – JAMES
James is a member of the local hospital board. His father is getting old and frail and has had some medical
problems lately. The family is looking for a prioritised place in the local aged care facility. As member of the
board, James will have some say in whether his father is offered a prioritised place or not.
1. What is the problem in this case study?
5. What should be done?

In this situation, nothing is done and James influences the board to approve the priority place for his
father. He justifies his action by saying that his father was a clear priority and that the decision would have
been the same whether he was on the board or not.
6. If this is the case, has James and the rest of the board made an ethical decision? Explain your answer.
7. What should the rest of the board have done?

CASE STUDY 4 – HERRIOT
You are working in a community health service which is run in conjunction with a youth ‘drop-in’ program.
known as Youth in Front. Herriot Malini is a 14-year-old girl who has been attending the program for some
time. Herriot has a mild intellectual disability with sub-average intellectual functioning and lack of social
skills. Herriot has a reputation for dishonesty including telling lies and stealing from others.
You have noticed lately that she has been withdrawn and subject to fits of temper. When you ask her if she
is okay, she tells you that no, she is not okay and how would you feel if your mother’s boyfriend kept feeling
you up?
As you talk to Herriot, she discloses that her mother’s boyfriend has touched her sexually on several
occasions when her mother has been at work. She has now moved in with her grandmother to get away
from him. Her mother went crazy when she found out she was living with Grandma and when she told her
why she called her a ‘lying little b***h’.
She tells you that she wants the man locked up so he can’t hurt her anymore but she also tells you that she
would be much too scared to talk to authorities about what has happened.
Herriot also says that her mother has no rights over her because she is not her real mother but only a
guardian because her mother died when she was a baby.
1. What legislation covers the protection of children against abuse in your state?
8. Herriot has a reputation for lying. Does this mean you should decide whether or not she is telling the truth
before reporting the allegation? How may the code of ethics assist you with this decision?

9. Where can you find information about how to deal with allegations of client abuse inside and outside of
your organisation?
10. What guidance does a code of ethics give in relation to confidentiality in this case?

11. Is Herriot right when she says her mother has no rights because she is not her real mother?
12. You realise you will need to report this to your supervisor. When should you do this and what would you
do if your supervisor was not available?

You have no counselling experience or training, but for several years you have worked with young people
with disabilities who are at risk.
You think Herriot needs some counselling to help her with her issues around the sexual assault and her
problems with her mother.
As you have a good relationship with Herriot, you think you are the best person to do this. You arrange to
meet Herriot at her grandmother’s house tomorrow to start the counselling.
You are looking forward to helping Herriot and read up on counselling text books overnight.
13. What is wrong with your idea to provide counselling to Herriot?
14. What is your responsibility to Herriot?

CASE STUDY 5 – LIONEL
Lionel is participating in an alcohol program to try to reduce his drinking. He has a history of domestic
violence against his wife, Julieanne – always after he has been drinking.
He loves Julieanne – but when he drinks he gets violent.
Julieanne has decided to give him one more chance – and he has agreed to participate in the program.
All is going well and Lionel has not had a drink in two months.
But one day his mate, Ollie, comes to town and they go out for a drink for old time’s sake.
One drink leads to two, which leads to many more and Lionel and Ollie go back to Lionel’s house after
midnight very drunk.
Julieanne is not happy – after all his hard work, Lionel is drunk again. It is all Ollie’s fault in Julieanne’s
mind. She says something about it to Ollie, which Lionel hears. He loses his temper.
He calls Julieanne names and starts pushing her about.
Despite Ollie trying to stop him, Lionel hits Julieanne across the head and she falls backwards, banging
her head against the door jamb.
An ambulance takes Julieanne to hospital. She has head injuries.
The next day Lionel is remorseful. He attends his program and tells the coordinator what happened. He
feels ashamed.
The program coordinator is very disappointed with Lionel. He was going so well but he has just gone
straight back to his old ways – and now Julieanne is in hospital.
His coordinator wants to shout at Lionel and refuse to have him in the program. He looks terrible, and is
dirty and unwashed from last night. He smells of alcohol. She feels very sorry for Julieanne – she deserves
better than this. She should just leave him, he will never change!
Lionel can see the disapproval in his coordinator’s face.
‘Oh, come on!’ he says. ‘My best friend was in town. I just went out for a drink with him.’
1. How do Lionel’s values and those of his program coordinator differ?

2. What should the program coordinator do to make sure she works non-judgmentally with her clients?

about an ethical dilemma that she has.
You and Elaine work with youth in the community. Elaine has come to you today with a dilemma that she is very
worried about.
A young 14-year-old girl has come to her asking for help to get an abortion. Elaine has very strong anti-abortion values
and she does not feel comfortable assisting the client in this way.
Elaine wonders if you would be able to take on her client.
Yesterday you saw your friend’s daughter, Sienna, talking with Elaine. You know that Sienna has been having a lot of
problems at home. You ask Elaine if it is Sienna that is needing the abortion. Unfortunately it is, so now you also have
an ethical dilemma due to your friendship with Sienna’s mother.
There are no other workers in your organisation that can take over Sienna’s case.
Your organisation deals with many youth issues and provides financial assistance and referral to various services
including sexual health, drug and alcohol, quit smoking, housing and accommodation.
Your assessor will play the role of Elaine.

As part of this role play, you must discuss the ethical dilemmas that you and Elaine are facing and come up
with a solution to meet the needs of the client.
 Identify and discuss the legal and ethical responsibilities of both yourself and your colleague
 Identify and discuss the ethical issues that you both face in this situation
 Discuss the differences in personal values and ways to make sure practice remains non-judgmental
