Abstract

Despite different delivery systems for home care, similar services were delivered to similar proportions of elderly people in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide in 1981. Per capita government expenditure on home care in the three States varied, as did the cost of service delivery. Client characteristics also differed, in that the health-oriented regional services in Adelaide had more disabled and more poor clients, while local government in Melbourne and local voluntary groups in Sydney served a more mainstream clientele. Substantially more funds have gone to home care through the HACC Program, warranting an analysis of current service patterns, client characteristics and client outcomes.
