Data on approved service providers and aged care places

Programs

These tables provide data on major aged care programs which receive Australian Government funding. They include data on: places, number of people accessing the programs, expenditure, and other relevant activity data. All data in these tables is current at 30 June 2010. The data appears in publicly available publications (such as the Report on the Operation of the Aged Care Act 1997, Department of Health and Ageing Annual Report, and the Report on Government Services) or is deemed suitable for release to the public.

Please note that data presented in the ‘People’ categories is presented at the program level only. An individual may receive services under more than one aged care program throughout the year. The number of unique individuals assessing aged care in 2009-2010 therefore, is not equal to the sum of the total for each program, ie: some individuals will be counted against more than one program.

Definitions

Place

A place is a capacity within an aged care service for provision of residential, community or flexible care to an individual.

Operational place

Within an aged care facility, an operational place is a place that is either occupied by a resident, or if not occupied, is available to be occupied.

Within community care this refers to a place against which the service provider is providing care and is claiming the subsidy.

Allocated place

A place that has been allocated through the Aged Care Approval Round and may or may not be operational.

(a) If a HACC recipient receives services in more than one state/territory in a year, they are recorded against the first state/territory where they received the service in that year. The total for Australia is then accurate, as each HACC recipient is counted only once. However, the total for a state/territory may be lower than the actual number of recipients who received a HACC service in that year.

(c) Source: HACC MDS 2009/10 (unpublished) - provisional data that may be subject to revision.
(d) Instance of Assistance is the measure used to determine numbers of clients by assistance type. In many cases, a client will receive more than one type of assistance, from a single agency, or from more than one agency. In such cases, “Instance of Assistance” refers to a unique combination of client identification number, HACC agency and Assistance Type.
