| Annotation | This brief paper highlights some important messages in the literature pertaining to community care for older Aboriginal Australians. Such literature has been scarce until relatively recently. These key messages are particularly important as aged care sector reforms are implemented. The authors highlight significant research findings concerning health, care preferences and service delivery challenges for the provision of community care for this population group. In order to to be successful, they argue, a service needs to be relevant. To be relevant, services need to take a community development approach in their development and ongoing management. (JL). |
