“…Other conditions such as functional disability and mental illness are disproportionately higher in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities (Randall, Lujic, Havard, Eades, & Jorm, 2018;Vos et al, 2009). Carers of those with dementia, frailty, mental health disabilities, chronic conditions and those requiring palliative care, often experience high levels of carer burden and depression (Bom, Bakx, Schut, & van Doorslaer, 2018;Brodaty, Woodward, Boundy, Ames, & Balshaw, 2014;Choi & Seo, 2019;Lambert et al, 2017). However, there is limited data for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly those living in remote and regional areas where factors such as overcrowded housing, poor health linkages, financial barriers and poor service access may contribute to carer burden (Broe & Jackson-Pulver, 2007;Carroll et al, 2010).…”
