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 />
