Abstract
Recent Australian health reforms highlight the role of effective primary health care (PHC) in providing coordinated, person-centred care and keeping individuals out of hospital.1 In the context of an ageing population and rising rates of chronic and complex conditions, there is growing demand for health services. Collaboration is needed across all service providers who support older people, including integrating PHC with aged care services. This RESEARCH ROUNDup highlights current challenges and approaches to such integration in Australia.
