According to WHO, the social conditions in which people are born, live and work is the single most important determinant of good health or ill health of an Australian. As factors that affect health, social determinants can be seen as 'causes of the causes'—that is, as the foundational determinants which influence other health determinants. In keeping with this model,  illustrates how social determinants extend inward to affect other factors, including health behaviours and biomedical factors that are part of a person's individual lifestyle .

The National Health Performance Framework also recognises the importance of social determinants to our health. The framework includes community and socioeconomic factors that relate to income, health literacy and educational attainment

The health advantages and disadvantages experienced by Australians are shaped by their broader social and economic conditions. Inequalities in health appear in the form of a 'social gradient of health', so that in general, the higher a person's socioeconomic position, the healthier they are.

Some health inequalities are attributable to external factors and to conditions that are outside the control of the individuals concerned. Inequalities that are avoidable and unjust—health inequities—are often linked to forms of disadvantage such as poverty, discrimination and access to goods and services

Housing:

Safe, affordable and secure housing is associated with better health, which in turn impacts on people's participation in work, education and the community. It also affects parenting and social and familial relationships . There is a gradient in the relationship between health and quality of housing: as the likelihood of living in 'precarious' unaffordable, unsuitable or insecure housing increases, health worsens. The relationship is also two-way, in that poor health can lead to precarious housing. Single parents and single people generally, young women and their children and older private renters are particularly vulnerable to precarious housing

Residential environment:

The residential environment has an impact on health equity through its influence on local resources, behaviour and safety. Communities and neighbourhoods that ensure access to basic goods and services; are socially cohesive; which promote physical and psychological wellbeing; and protect the natural environment, are essential for health equity

To that end, health-promoting modern urban environments are those with appropriate housing and transport infrastructure and a mix of land use encouraging recreation and social interaction.

Environment the Biodiversity: In Australia is lost due to the deforestation, land clearing, pollution specially the water and soil which has lead to increase in diseases like the asthma and cancer. it has it also has affected the water causing diseases due to it

cultural barriers : These barriers like minority group specific beliefs and practices and low socioeconomic status, low educational status etc...these lead to access for a good health care there is also communication lagging making them too difficult to understand the health care services. the lack of knowledge has created and sense of fear and non-probability to access the right of care

community acceptance : There is a major differences in the community accept and see when there is a mental illness among the society there is a high prevalence of stigma existing but overall the community acceptance entry for the health care services has been accepted by the most of the australians
