Synopsis

The proposed project forms multiple sections in Major Report L. It will characterise the use of Medicare items across the life course with a particular focus on items that are commonly used by all women, items that are particular to specific life stages, and targeted items (telehealth and assisted reproductive technologies). How and when women use these Medicare items in relation to their life stage and healthcare needs and the costs of these services will also be examined.
