Urbis Keys Young Research Report
Research was commissioned by Medicare Australia and the Office for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH) in the Department of Health and Ageing, building on the Market Research undertaken by Keys Young in 1997 [PDF, 679Kb].
The primary focus of the research was to assess the effectiveness of Australian’s major health benefit programs, including Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), in supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander access to, and use of Australian and State Government health services.
The study was undertaken by the social research firm Urbis Keys Young and involved national stakeholder consultation, visits to twelve urban, regional and remote locations across Australia, statistical analysis and the conduct of four inter-related surveys with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services, community pharmacies, GPs and Medicare staff.
