Abstract
This thesis identifies and traces the key factors in Australian society up to 1975 which led to the Commonwealth Government becoming involved in the provision of domiciliary services primarily for aged people. More specifically the focus in the thesis is on the origins and implementation of the States Grants (Home Care) Act 1969-73, the Delivered Meals Subsidy Act 1970-74 and associated Commonwealth legislation. In carrying through the study a number of approaches are en1ployed. The process of development of the factors that gave rise to the Commonwealth Governments ''Home Care Programme" is traced from colonial times up to the period 1969-1970. the implementation of the relevant legislation is described, and the National "Home Care Programme" is evaluated. Alfred J. Kahn's model of social planning has been used as a conceptual framework in the selection of historical data for the thesis and also as a theoretical model against which the Commonwealth's "Home Care" policies are evaluated.
