First published in 1998, this volume explores the Australian
welfare system in the 1980s through the lens of being 'bushed':
lost, tired, confused and don't know which way to go. Numerous key
factors have hindered the development of Australia's welfare system
along with the ability of rural Australians to access formal
welfare services which have frequently been inappropriate to their
needs and lifestyles. These include a fragmented and centralised
policy and service system for decision making, information, control
and accountability, a highly professionalised welfare workforce and
a 'provision' approach to social care built on the assumption that
it is best provided by a network of formal services which are
largely disconnected from natural sources of support.
