Entering into a system of care
Informal carers provide the majority of care to older Australians and play an essential role in assisting older people with complex care needs to remain living in their own homes. As such, carers are increasingly faced with systemic responsibilities, including coordinating services across multifaceted health and aged care systems and negotiating treatment and supports.

Delivering healthcare services to children with cerebral palsy and their families
Parents' Experiences of Health Care for Their Children With Cerebral Palsy
Although current health care service delivery approaches for children with cerebral palsy recognize the importance of including parents in the health care of their child, we do not yet understand how parents experience this phenomenon. In this study, we used grounded theory methodology to explore parents' experiences of health care for their children with cerebral palsy living in a regional area of Australia. Our findings indicate that parents ex…
Exploring Women's Experiences of Health and Well-Being in Remote Northwest Queensland, Australia
Rural and remote environments are challenging places in which to achieve health and well-being. In this woman-centered, grounded theory study, I explored the meaning of health and well-being as well as how it is achieved from the perspective of women living in remote inland parts of Australia. The study was based on semistructured interviews with 23 women living in geographically remote areas. The findings are presented as a model of the capacity…

To be effective, strategies need to be informed by an understanding of the organisational context and the social work workforce. This paper reports the results of a cross-sectional survey of social workers conducted as part of a larger study of health practitioners in a public sector health organisation in northern Queen…
The Contribution of Qualitative Methodologies to Rural Health Research
Understanding the influence of rural social determinants on health can contribute to alleviating disparities between the health of urban and rural populations. Qualitative methodologies have made a substantial contribution to our understanding of rural health issues. However, there are few published case studies of the process of designing qualitative studies which can contribute to a better understanding of how to conduct and evaluate qualitativ…
Conceptualising The Mental Health of Rural Women
The mental health and well-being of rural women and how to promote it is not well understood. This paper reviews contrasting discourses in relation to rural women, highlighting the way in which gender roles may be reinforced and women’s health and well-being compromised. The structural analysis, practice frameworks and skills provided by the disciplines of social work and health promotion can assist in the development of a broader conceptualisati…
The accommodation and support needs of people with a mental illness
This paper reports the results of a consumer-focused assessment of the accommodation and support needs of people with a mental illness living in a regional city. The study utilises a 'pathway to stability' approach to assess the phase-contingent accommodation and support needs of mental health consumers through interviews and focus groups with consumers, carers and service providers. The study identifies five broad phases of the life course impac…
