GEN data: People using aged care
Confidentialised unit record file (CURF) with selected information about people using residential care, home care, transition care and short-term restorative care as at 30 June. This CURF accompanies the People using aged care topic.
Data are provided in a zipped file and include the following variables:
-
Date: year
-
Geography: state/territory, Aged Care Planning Region (ACPR)
-
Admission: care type, admission type (for residential care), care level (for home care)
-
Recipient: age group, sex, Indigenous status, preferred language, country of birth
History of changes
-
Admission type is combined with care type in CURFs for 2022 and later.
-
Unit record file data for transition care at 30 June 2022 is not available.
-
Short-term restorative care added to CURFs for 2023 or later.
- Due to changes in 2022–23, residential care data in the 2023 CURF may not be comparable with published counts of people using residential aged care at 30 June 2023.
Correction:
-
20/05/2025 – The 'People using aged care, 30 June 2024' CURF published on 30 April 2025 had incorrectly labelled aged groups for people using ‘permanent residential care’ and ‘respite residential care’. This has been corrected. This does not impact any other care types in the CURF.
