Tool № 10 · Aged Care

Real older-adult cohorts — provider locations and MBS uptake aren't loaded.

SNHN has 163,588 people aged 65+ (17.6% of catchment, real per-LGA ABS ERP 2024), 83,228 aged 75+, and 25,787 aged 85+. Commonwealth aged-care provision ratios are national targets, not real per-PHN allocations — My Aged Care provider locations and MBS 75+ health-check uptake per PHN aren't currently in our schema. We disclose those gaps rather than apply national ratios locally.
