Section 4 Introduction: Demonstration Projects

Abstract

Frendin?s article in the previous section describes the funding of 12 self-management demonstration projects under the Commonwealth?s Sharing Health Care Initiative. The first two papers in this section, by Lishman and Mansfield, provide some insight into the nature and conduct of demonstration projects in lower SES areas of Perth and South West Sydney respectively. The next two papers discuss demonstration projects with Indigenous people in Katherine (Mobbs et al.) and Port Lincoln (Ah Kit et al.).
