 This study examined the creation of political will for pro-equity policies in Australia. It found that the strength of path dependency, electoral concerns, political philosophy, the strength of economic and biomedical framings, whether elite interests were threatened, and the success or otherwise of civil society lobbying all played a role in creating political will for pro-equity policies. In order to create political will for pro-equity policies, it is important to determine how path dependency that exacerbates health inequities can be broken, work with sympathetic political forces committed to fairness, frame policy options in a way that makes them more likely to be adopted, outline factors to consider in challenging the interests of elites, and consider the extent to which civil society will work in favor of equitable policies.
