In March 2008, the Residential Classification Scale (RCS) was replaced by the Aged Care Funding
Instrument (ACFI), but some residents remained under the RCS in June 2008. These calculations use
both RCS and ACFI as they applied at June 2008. See Box 13.1 in the Aged care services chapter for
more detail on these classifications. Residents are classifed as 'high care' or 'low care' according to the
RCS or ACFI level on which their subsidy payment is based.
Geographical data are based on the ABS Standard Geographic Classification Remoteness Areas. See
table 13A.2, note (a).
Numbers fewer than three are not published and the relevant totals do not include these figures.
Proportions which may identify numbers fewer than three are not published. The proportions published
for Australia and all areas, take into account all residents, including those numbers not published.
