National Aged Care Data Clearinghouse

The new National Aged Care Data Clearinghouse, at the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, is an useful repository of national aged care data. It is a component of the Australian Government’s package of aged care reform measures and was developed to provide aged care data to policy makers, researchers, service providers and consumers. It provides statistical information on clients and services within a range of national programs and services, including residential aged care, aged care packages provided in the community, the Transition Care Program, the National Respite for Carers Program and the Aged Care Assessment Program.
