The Australian Health Care System 4e, provides students with a fully updated, comprehensive and forward looking overview of the structure and operation of health systems and services in Australia.

Written with an emphasis on policy and economic issues, the book provides an extensive overview of the interactions between consumers and providers of health care in Australia. This fourth edition includes expanded coverage of Primary Care, Specialist Health Services, Aged Care and Disability Services and increased pedagogy, such as case studies of sections of the health care system.
