(a) 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.
(b)
(c)
This table excludes residents without a RCS/ACFI appraisal.
NT data are based on the experience of a small number of residents and may not be representative of
the experience of NT residents over time.
