The residential aged care database contains administrative by product data for the residential aged care since the Aged Care System Reforms of 1997. This is the source of data on residential aged care that is published in the AIHW Aged Care Statistics series. The database consists of a selection of files from the Department of Health and Aged Care warehouse – ACCMIS (Aged and Community Care Management Information System).
From 2013, this collection is effectively inactive, as relevant data are included in the National Aged Care Data Clearinghouse.

Data scope All residents in residential aged care at the 1997 change and new admissions since then. The payment system from which the data is derived was developed from the Nursing home payment system. Consequently, a fuller history of clients with nursing home exposure is available but in general pre reform hostel detail is not available through ACCMIS. |
