| Annotation | This paper examines the history, evolution and policy issues surrounding long-term care (LTC) of older people (aged 65 plus) in Australia. Data is based on 1985, although updated information is included to indicate key outcomes of policy initiatives taken in the mid-1990s, and further references are provided to later reports and research into Australia's nursing home system. This paper covers the context of LTC policy, including history and demography, with an overview of the LTC system in Australia, and assesses demographic and social characteristics. |
