Researchers: Dr Gemma Carey (Principal investigator)

Brief description Health policies and programs often provide the greatest benefit to those who are well-off, creating greater disparities in health outcomes between different population groups. This study examines how health equity is pursued within the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Using the NDIS as a case study, it will identify ways to support health equity during the implementation of national public policies, thereby contributing to better health outcomes.
