Australian health and welfare services have developed in an ad hoc fashion. In response to demands by interested groups within the community, governments have relied on fiscal control and political expediency to regulate the growth of services and benefits. The lack of comprehensive policies and adequate planning has resulted in legislative complexity and administrative fragmentation, which has adversely affected the development of effective health and welfare services for the elderly Australian. The nature of these difficulties is discussed and recommendations are made for their resolution.
澳大利亚的卫生和福利服务是临时发展起来的。为了回应社区内相关团体的需求，政府依靠财政控制和政治权宜之计来规范服务和福利的增长。缺乏全面的政策和充分的规划导致了立法的复杂性和行政的碎片化，这对为澳大利亚老年人提供有效的卫生和福利服务产生了不利影响。本文讨论了这些困难的性质，并提出了解决建议。
