Surviving Healthcare in Australia
Finding the necessary healthcare solutions for patients and caregivers in Australia can be a daunting task. Although the Australian healthcare system is world-class, its evolution has led to complexities, inequalities and frustrations for healthcare practitioners and patients alike.
In this book, you will learn:
- why diagnosis and treatment need to adopt a more holistic view of individuals.
- which practices and restrictions prohibit healthcare practitioners from delivering the best care for their patients, despite their best intentions.
- where to find the help and support you need based on your unique circumstances.
- how to navigate the existing healthcare system to achieve the best results.
- how minor adjustments to the care and treatment of the ill, aged, disabled and disenfranchised can significantly improve patient outcomes.
It is time that our healthcare system provides people with the support they need, not just to recover from an illness, but to secure the best possible results for individuals and their families physically, mentally, emotionally and personally.
New Chapters on Public and Mental Health and Pandemic Response.

Review
The Australian Healthcare system has the potential to be world-class but is undermined by complexity, incongruity and a lack of systemic coordination. There is a need for patient-centric, holistic, value healthcare. In Surviving Healthcare in Australia: Get the Support You Need, Anne Crawford draws on her own extensive experience to provide insights and valuable tips on how everyday Australians can navigate the healthcare system to access better care and how our system can be improved to fulfil its potential.
Dr. Elizabeth Sigston, MBBS FRACS PhD
Surviving Healthcare in Australia is a 'must read' if you want to know about the support and care options available to you. Patient care doesn't have to be one dimensional, as it sometimes seems!
Rachel Johnson, Founder of HAAA and wSw
This book highlights the importance of putting patients and their families at the centre of decisions and working alongside healthcare professionals to achieve the best possible outcome.
Lauren Todorovic, CEO & Founder of HelloCare
Overall, this book is a great introduction to the history and complexity of Australia's healthcare system, while introducing us to a potential solution or mechanism that will make this journey simpler.
Tom Voigt, Senior Policy & Research Officer, Australian Association of Gerontology (AAG)
Anne Crawford's book demonstrates the need for modern approaches to remove the complexity that exists today in our healthcare system and restore trust back into the community. It highlights the importance for putting patients and their families at the centre of decisions and working alongside healthcare professionals to get the best possible outcome. Surviving Healthcare in Australia is a great book.
