From silos to synergy: Improving timely access to health services that support healthy ageing in people with intellectual disability
Description: Australians aged 65+ can access aged health care, but this doesn't suit people with intellectual disabilities, who often age prematurely. Current policies create barriers to proper care. Inspired by Indigenous health policies, this project aims to set a fairer age for access and develop key health indicators. Researchers will analyse existing datasets, study ageing trends, and gather insights from affected communities to recommend better policies.
