Description: The Day Therapy Centre Census 2002 presents the results of a comprehensive national data collection of Day Therapy Centres and their care recipients. The Day Therapy Centre Program subsidises a range of therapies for frail older people living in the community and for residents of Australian Government funded residential aged care. Therapies include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and podiatry. The data collected provide an insight into the needs and circumstances of those accessing this care and provide information on current service delivery patterns. The data in this report are useful for aged and community care service planners, service providers and researchers in the field.
