%X The health systems of Australia and New Zealand are built on common foundations which largely reflect the social and institutional underpinnings of the British health sector. Both countries initially relied upon a combination of privately-funded services for those who could afford them and charitable support for those who were less well off. They introduced formalised regulation and licensing of health professionals and government-funded and delivered public health services. Senior medical staff divided their time between fee-earning private practice and pro bono work in the charitable/voluntary sector, and so on.
