| Annotation | In Australia, increasing emphasis on self-reliance as an objective way of social policy calls for a re-assessment of how long-term care for dependent older people will be funded. This article looks at a variety of options available for sharing the costs between the state and users, focusing on private long term care insurance. The author suggests that such insurance has the potential to play a part in the future, however, constraints from both the supply and demand sides must be taken into account, as must the wider social implications of policy choices.
