In this episode of the PaSCE Podcast, we’re joined by Associate Professor Chris Schilling, health economist and Principal Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, to unpack how health economics shapes the decisions that influence care, equity and sustainability across Australia’s health system.
Chris breaks down health economics in practical terms, explores the real-world implications for aged care and palliative care, and reflects on the economic challenges facing the system amid rapid reform, workforce shortages and shifting government priorities.
We discuss how concepts like value, resource allocation and quality of life are understood (and sometimes misunderstood), and what Chris sees that others may not.
