All sectors of government are expected to bring about policy change.

• Central government has supporting bodies, such as the Ministry of Health with BKKBN and the public health directorate focusing on older people which work on ageing and mental health issues. The Ministry of Social Affairs has one directorate focusing on older people’s social rehabilitation.
• Local governments can also bring policy change through their local programmes including Social Service or Health Service. Both programmes also work hand in hand with central government, the Ministry of Social Affairs, and the Ministry of Health.
