Accommodation census for residential aged care providers

Department of Health

Help us make sure all aged care beds are counted to prepare for future demand.

We are building a national database on bed capacity, home locations and conditions to:

  • inform policy and funding decisions by government
  • address care shortages
  • reduce hospital stays
  • support Australia’s ageing population.

The census will take up to 30 minutes for each residential care home to complete and runs from 27 July to 6 September.

A link to the census will be emailed to you. Each aged care provider must use their individual link to complete the census.
