Indicator Summary
Sub-acute care includes separations with a care type of rehabilitation, palliative care, geriatric evaluation and management, and psychogeriatric care.
Rates directly age-standardised to the 2001 Australian population for disaggregation by remoteness and SEIFA Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage (IRSD) only.
Analysis by state and territory is based on location of service.
Analysis by remoteness and SEIFA IRSD is based on …
2009–10—Nationally, by SEIFA Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage (IRSD) deciles
2007–08 (resupplied for revised Indigenous and SEIFA analysis), and 2009–10—State and territory, by:
- age group (65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, 85 years and over)
- Indigenous status
- remoteness (Australian Standard Geographical Classification Remoteness Structure)
- SEIFA IRSD quintiles
Some disaggregation may result in numbers too small for publication. National disaggregation by Indigenous status will be based on data only from jurisdictions for which the quality of Indigenous identification is considered acceptable.
