Summary
The 250,000 Australians living in the community with communication disability caused by stroke and traumatic brain injury experience unacceptably high rates of depression, anxiety, inactivity and social isolation. Their carers experience high levels of burden, and they struggle to access health and community services. We aim to develop and test a program of community and self-managed care, aimed at reversing these negative impacts and reducing reliance on high cost health care services.

Summary
Very little is known about older Indigenous people in aged care. Led by Indigenous people, this project will use a unique national dataset to answer questions on the experiences of Indigenous people in aged care, focusing on access and barriers to services and care, quality and safety of care and whether the care they receive meets their health needs. This research will inform service improvements and ensure older Indigenous people are not forgotten in much-needed aged care reforms.
