GEN is a comprehensive “one–stop shop” for data and information about aged care services in Australia. It reports on capacity and activity in the aged care system focusing on the people, their care assessments and the services they use. GEN caters for all levels of users, from students looking for information for assignments, right through to data modellers and actuaries. The data that underpins each topic is available for further analysis and additional data, not necessarily displayed in a topic, is available in the Analyse section. If there is a need for data which isn’t available on GEN, it is possible to request the data.
The data and information is sourced from the National Aged Care Data Clearinghouse (NACDC) which is managed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). The AIHW coordinates data collected from various agencies and departments, and creates data sets for examination. It is Australia’s only central, independent repository of national aged care data. The AIHW and the Department of Health have worked together to develop GEN as part of continuous quality improvement for the NACDC.
