Project Description

The aged-care sector is made up of a mixture of private, public and charitable organisations, regulated by state and or federal laws. The public/private model means these businesses mediate the delivery of health care to aged care residents. This research investigates the patchwork of laws and regulation comprising the legal protection of the right to health in Australia in the context of aged care.
