National Disability Insurance Scheme participation by younger people living in residential aged care

Over recent years, there has been considerable progress towards reducing the number of younger people (aged under 65) entering and living in residential aged care. Using linked aged care and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) data, this report explores a cohort of 12,300 younger people living in residential aged care between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2022. It provides detailed insights into the characteristics, pathways, and needs of NDIS participants and non-participants.
