Summary
Aged care services in Australia are provided based on need and, due to a range of circumstances, younger people (aged less than 65 years) are living in permanent residential aged care. Using linked data, this report explores a cohort of more than 27,900 younger people who lived in permanent residential aged care at some stage over an 11-year period, between 2009–10 to 2019–20. Key characteristics and patterns of care use are presented.
