Australia experienced significant economic, political, social and cultural change during the latter decades of the 20th Century. The nature of our society was challenged, and at times the nation shifted its conventions and perspectives.The final Area of Study in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Australian History course examines "Voices for Change 1965-2000" within this context.This text aims to provide students with the essential content and skills to tackle this section of the final examination. It is also intended to be a pivotal resource in preparing for the associated School Assessed Coursework (SAC) task.In Area of Study 2, students examine two of the five prescribed topics. The VCE Study Design prescribes that 'students should be able to analyse and evaluate' these selected changes by drawing on 'the key knowledge and key skills outlined in the Area of Study'. Dedicated sections on four of these areas of change form the core of this book. This textbook has been designed to cover these essential course requirements in one accessible and comprehensive resource.In terms of School Assessed Coursework (SAC) requirements, schools have the option to assess this outcome via an analysis exercise, an essay or an historical inquiry. This resource enables systematic coverage of the key knowledge and skills, allowing students to springboard into further research.The authors all have postgraduate qualifications in their respective fields and currently teach both VCE and IB senior secondary classeds.
