Health care Policy Development
Introduction
Social equity is rooted in the notion that everyone is equivalent as well as has absolute privileges
because the Australian government uniquely integrates social, spiritual, financial, and political
individuality. Simultaneously the realization of the impossibility of the equality and inequality
produced. Recent changes in Australian health care systems include the federal government’s
commitment to major funding for health services and organizational reforms that have been
incorporated into the National Health Reform Agreement (NHRA) and accepted by all countries
and regions in 2011 and give equal heal care opportunities to everyone. Health care and public
policies are comprehensive and understandable, and cross-disciplinary explanations of health
care policy (medical, social, economic) goals and government policy tools (cost-benefit analysis,
entry barriers, competition) that can be used to ensure scarcity are not wasted resources
moreover do not require poor social groups that are deprived from basic and affordable medical
services (Gama Colombo, 2010).

decision-making. Australia is close to the end of the decade of the national plan for the elderly
care policy and the phased reform. Although the motivation for action is economical, and in

ends, but reforms are based on widely recognized dissatisfaction with residential and community
care provisions (Marmot, Friel, Bell, Houweling& Taylor, 2008).
The Pensions Act for aged people as well as empowerment legislations of 1997 which includes
principles and decisions for elderly medical care provide regulatory frameworks for the
Australian management fund aged care provider moreover provide the protection for the elderly
care recipient. Legislative frameworks stipulate the needs of Australian government-sponsored
providers of age care approval, distribution of elderly care facilities, approval or the
classification of the care recipient, certification of the services, furthermore subsidies also paid
by the government of Australian. Framework stipulates provider's responsibility in the quality
and compliance of aged care. Based on the different social and economic capabilities that

disadvantaged groups has not yet received the full attention of the central government and it is
not possible to care about “constituted” communities rather than “concerned” communities
(Baillie, 2013). The related national financial responsibility is reduced because the same capital,
