Abstract
Dr Maria Alejandra Pinero de Plaza and Penelope McMillan, together with several Australian health consumers and academics, co-created a survey to explore the characteristics and experiences of Frail, Homebound and Bedbound Australians, from July to September 2020.
Frail, Homebound, and Bedridden People (FHBP) are distinct populations that live with a series of complex, incapacitating, and debilitating illnesses, or injuries.
Members of these populations are unified by shared circumstances: being trapped and unable to leave home.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics – 2018 Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers, approximately 596,800 people aged 5 years and over do not leave home as often as they would like due to their disability or condition.
Of these people, 383,500 people were aged 5-64 years and 212,800 people were aged 65 years or more.
Many Australians from such groups do not receive support to access clinical services, or even have a regular primary care provider, such as a GP.
