Notes:

1 - Residential Care includes: Mainstream residential aged care places as well as residential care delivered through Multi-Purpose Services, the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Program and Innovative Care Programs.

2 - Community care (low care) includes: Community Aged Care Packages, Consumer Directed Care (CDC) Low Care places and community based care delivered through Multi Purpose Services. Community care (high care) includes: Extended Aged Care at Home (EACH), EACH Dementia, CDC High Care and CDC High Care Dementia places.

All ratios are calculated individually, so there may be rounding differences between the individual ratios and the totals. For example, if you add the 'high care' and 'low care' ratios you may get a slightly different figure to the one shown for the 'total residential'.
