Community aged care in Australia: The need for innovative programmes to boost workforce capacity
Across Western nations, ‘ageing in place’ policies rely on having a sufficient and skilled aged care workforce. In Australia, due to the impact of successive policy reforms, this workforce including the sector that provides community-based services has declined in number and skills. At the same time the need to upskill and sustain this workforce has intensified as the frailty and health needs of consumers have increased. This paper reports on an …
Australian rural community aged care services: Precarity and capacity
In Australia, the precarity of the aged care sector has been well documented over several decades. During this time, policy reforms have ultimately landed care, and the business of providing it, within a market model. Following recent evidence produced by the Royal Commission into Aged Care and Safety and the COVID‐19 Senate Committee, this model and the sector's incapacity to consistently deliver appropriate care has been the subject of intense …
Navigating the marketisation of community aged care services in rural Australia
The aged care policies of many Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries reflect free-market principles. In Australia, the recently introduced Consumer Directed Care programme centres on markets in which a range of organisations compete to provide services to community-living elders. As consumers, older people are allocated government funding with which they select and purchase items from their chosen service organisation. …
Comprehensive geriatric assessment programmes: Possibilities, realities and outcomes
Interventions based on comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) have been implemented in many countries. These interventions, based on the premise that such assessment will delay individual decline and reduce demand on medical and institutional care, generally result in equivocal or modest outcomes. This article presents findings from a critical realist review of a sample of reported interventions to offer insights into the macro- and micro-facto…
Workforce Crisis in Residential Aged Care: Insights from Rural, Older Workers
In Australia, workforce shortages in residential aged care present a significant challenge for the aged care industry. The growing demand for workers in aged care, combined with the shrinking supply of younger workers entering the field, highlights a future workforce crisis. The current shortfalls are set to worsen with the retirement of a generation of women who have provided the backbone of the workforce. Although targeted retention of this gro…
Introduction: Longevity and sociology
Population ageing is an historically unprecedented global phenomenon. The (World Health Organization [WHO], 2013) reports that, in almost every country, the proportion of people aged over 60 years is increasing faster than any other age group. It predicts that between 2000 and 2050 this proportion of the world's population will double from about 11 to 22% or, in absolute terms, increase from 605 million to 2 billion (WHO, 2013). The ageing of pop…
Summary: Broadening the evidence base of mental health policy and practice
This concluding paper draws together the dominant themes across the papers published in this issue. The majority of the papers clearly point to disparities between the aims of policy-makers and mental health workers. Using a variety of perspectives and methods, the authors of these insightful papers argue that modernist, rational approaches to structuring and evaluating services are at odds with the professional needs of mental health workers. At…

Outcry and silence: The social implications of asylum closure in Australia
The guest editor sees a threefold purpose in writing this introductory article. Firstly, the release of the Not for Service report begs an overview of the rise of the asylum as a humane model of care and its fall from grace as a total institution, an ungovernable form of publicly-funded care. For this reason, she begins by sketching the history of asylums in Australia, noting that many calls and reform measures, all arguing for humane, dignified …
In sight, in mind: Mental Health Policy in the Era of Deinstitutionalisation
This paper outlines the key goals of Australia’s National Mental Health Strategy in attempting to persuade state governments to pursue the progressive deinstitutionalisation of Australia’s stand alone public psychiatric hospitals and the mainstreaming of inpatient psychiatric care in wards of general hospitals. It utilises Goffman’s (1961) critique of asylums and the comprehensive audit of Victoria’s public psychiatric services in 1992 to illustr…
