Geographical data are based on the ABS Australian Standard Geographic Classification of<br />

Remoteness Areas 2001. Data are classified according to an index of remoteness which rates each<br />

ABS Census District based on the number and size of towns, the distance to major towns and urban<br />

centres. For more information refer to the Australian Standard Geographic Classification (ABS<br />

Publication 1216.0). See notes to table 13A.2.<br />

Population data for June 2008 are preliminary population projections by SLA for 2006–2026 based on<br />

2006 Census prepared by ABS according to assumptions agreed to by DoHA (see Table 13A.2).<br />

Low usage rates in remote and very remote regions may reflect that clients have moved to other<br />

regions to access services.<br />

These figures exclude places funded by Multi-purpose services and those provided by flexible funding<br />

under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Aged Care Strategy.<br />

In March 2008, the Residential Classification Scale (RCS) was replaced by the Aged Care Funding<br />

Instrument (ACFI), but some residents remained under the RCS in June 2008. These calculations use<br />

both RCS and ACFI as they applied at June 2008. See Box 13.1 in the Aged care services chapter for<br />

more detail on these classifications. Residents are classifed as 'high care' or 'low care' according to<br />

the RCS or ACFI level on which their subsidy payment is based. High care residents are those<br />

classified as RCS 1–4 or ACFI High. Low care residents are those classified as RCS 5–8 or ACFI<br />

Low. Residents without a recorded RCS/ACFI were omitted.<br />
