These figures exclude places funded by Multi-purpose services and those provided by flexible

Population data for June 2008 are preliminary population projections by SLA for 2006-2026 based
on 2006 census prepared by ABS according to assumptions agreed to by DoHA (see Table 13A.2).
(c)
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. High care residents
are those classified as RCS 1–4 or ACFI High. Low care residents are those classified as RCS 5–8
or ACFI Low. Residents without a recorded RCS/ACFI were omitted.
– Nil or rounded to zero.
