Publication TypeResearch ReportAbstractTwo key objectives underpin the Commonwealth government’s funding system for remote Indigenous communities. The first is to make the funding system more flexible and stable, to ensure that delivery of services in small communities is cost effective and sustainable. The second is to enable the funding to be used in the development of culturally appropriate support for older people, shaped by customary values and practices. The purpose of our investigation was to examine against these objectives, the practical reality of delivering support for ageing in remote Indigenous communities in central Australia. In short, our study questions were: In the light of the current funding arrangements, what forms of service delivery for older people ageing in remote communities, have been developed? What are some of the key achievements and challenges in supporting ageing in place in remote Indigenous communities?AuthorDr Heather GibbDean DempseyPublication CollectionNorthern Institute Research Reports
