This report presents the results of a comprehensive national data collection of Extended Aged Care at Home providers and care recipients. This program, established in 2001, enables frail aged people to remain in their homes through the support of co-ordinated packages of high level care. The data collected provide an insight into the needs and circumstances of those accessing this care and provide information on current service delivery patterns.
