National Aged Care Data Asset

The National Aged Care Data Asset (NACDA) aims to bring together de-identified person-level data collected across aged care, health and community service settings for aged care research purposes. 

The purpose of the NACDA is to better understand the pathways, experiences and outcomes of people receiving aged care, and the operation and performance of the aged care system.

The NACDA was a recommendation of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety to ensure reliable and comprehensive data about the sector is available for research.

The NACDA is an enduring asset, meaning data will be updated regularly and new datasets added over time.

The AIHW’s approach to developing the NACDA is informed by consultation with non-government, peak body and government stakeholders.
