Initiatives and frameworks for inclusion in care systems and services aim to promote equitable access for people in marginalised, disadvantaged, and underserved communities. However, these frameworks do not always work as intended to ensure inclusion. Some of the reasons for this include structural and systemic challenges that limit the scope of inclusive practice.
This paper explores several challenges to achieving greater inclusion in Australian aged care, including systemic barriers stemming from a market-based model that limits equitable access and the difficulty for individuals to navigate the complex system. It also includes references to several AAG member research articles on this important topic.
