Synopsis

The aim of this research is to investigate the impact and utilisation of the ‘Better Access Scheme’ on health services among Australian women with mental health conditions. The research will provide in-depth analysis on the differing social, economic and health characteristics for women with mental health conditions who do and do not use the ‘Better Access Scheme’ and identify inequalities and possible inequities on health service use/costs and morbidity.
