Health
Healthcare is a human right, and should be afforded to all, not just those who have the ability to pay. All Western Australians have the right to access the health services they need to live a full and happy life and to participate actively in their communities. Low-income families often suffer geographical disadvantage as a result of financial disadvantage, meaning that they are not well connected to the services they need to ensure a basic quality of life. Because of this, many families may be forced to make poor health choices, or opt out of accessing the services they need because of their limited means.
