The challenges for business managers of home care services in meeting regulatory quality requirements in
Australia
Jenny Mee
Federation University, Australia
The ethical and political challenges facing home care provision is fraught with complexity, none more so than for those who conduct
home care businesses. The gaps in the literature reveal that home care for-profit providers have not had a voice in Australia. The
purpose of this research is to gather information about home care business in Australia and how owners/managers meet quality
accreditation processes. The intent of the research is to provide a forum in which participants can share experiences and challenges
with the wider home care governing and research communities about the business of home care. The research has implications for
informing policy and practice relating to the recent changes in consumer directed home care that will improve service delivery. This
has specific political and economic implications for Australia as the population ages and consumer directed home care packages are
implemented. An inclusive analysis of the discursive events is an important starting point to inform consumer directed change and
is vital for ensuring quality provision of home care services for the consumers. In addition it will provide insights into how consumer
driven care can be provided universally with a focus on equity and inclusion. This presentation will explore the ethical considerations
of inclusive practice for the project using a post structural framework.
