Supervisors: Prof. Jeromey Temple, Demography and Ageing Unit, Centre for Health Policy, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health; Hon. Prof. Briony Dow, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health
Bio: Prior to commencing graduate research, Mark spent 27 years at the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, where he led the development, collection and reporting of several major statistical collections, most recently covering aged care. He has managed, authored or reviewed around 130 reports, monographs and journal articles, and presented at national and international conferences.
When not studying, Mark enjoys classical music, cryptic crosswords, cooking, disc golf, bushwalking, and generally being curious.
Abstract: Mark’s research aims to elucidate evidence of the way that supply and demand factors affect equity of access to residential aged care in Australia, and to bring that evidence to bear on the design of a comprehensive, coordinated set of policy elements.
The culmination of the research is a catalogue raisonné of policy elements organised against equity benchmarks; this is useful for advocacy groups, providers and policymakers striving to improve access to high-quality residential aged care for older Australians.
