Aged care statistics series no. 28

Residential aged care in Australia 2007-08: a statistical overview provides comprehensive statistical information on the 2,080 residential aged care homes and their 160,250 residents at 30 June 2008. The report contains information on the capacity of residential aged care homes, their residents and resident characteristics, levels of dependency among residents, and admissions and separations. The year is particularly significant with the change over from the Resident Classification Scale to the Aged Care Funding Instrument for the appraisal and funding of residents.

  1. Table 4.35 has been revised on page 130. The corresponding text change in the publication related to paragraph 3 on page 46 which should now read:
    Diagnoses of dementia and other mental illnesses are recorded separately from other illnesses in the database. Excluding missing data, sixty three per cent of residents had at least one diagnosis of dementia. (2 September 2009)
