This paper presents a summary of data on child health inequalities in South Australia over the last decade. It then reviews the extent to which research findings have been incorporated into the State's human services' policy and practice. Particular barriers for researchers, policy-makers, planners, practitioners and communities are discussed, drawing on local and overseas experience, and possible strategies for addressing some of the barriers are outlined.
