Abstract:

Includes tables on people with disabilities, their carers and people aged 60 years and over. National and state counts and rates show the prevalence of disability and of restrictions in activities of daily living. The report examines the age, sex, living arrangements and educational and labour force experience of people with disabilities, their social participation, and their need for and receipt of assistance with a range of ordinary life activities. Similar information is presented for people aged 60 years and over, whether they have disabilities or not. Identification of unmet need assists with the planning of support services. Carer information indicates how much of this assistance is provided by family and friends. Counts of carers are presented., and for principal carers, age, labour force status, housing tenure, income, time spent caring and relationship to, are recorded.
