Abstract
- Public health, Health promotion, Legislation, medical, Health services, Indigenous health, Healthcare disparities, Patient rights This is because access to health services under the AAAQ framework cannot be considered separate and distinct from health service availability, acceptability and quality: all four AAAQ elements are essential, and overlap and interrelate.[8], [9], [10] For example, a health service might be available on paper, but it is not accessible in practice because the Indigenous health consumer has a disability and is unable to access the health service building or cannot access a computer in an appropriate space for a confidential telehealth consultation.
