The Needs of Indigenous Aged Care in South Australia  [MSWORD]  (170.5K)

Indigenous aged care is very new on the policy agenda, and much groundwork needs to be done to determine appropriate and culturally sensitive ways to provide aged care. This paper draws on consultations with representatives from regional as well as Adelaide communities to investigate whether, and in what ways, the Aged Care and Housing Group could contribute to the provision of culturally appropriate aged care for Aboriginal Elders in South Australia.
