Residential and non-residential aged care services
The Australian aged care industry is expected to expand over the next 50 years to service the growing ageing population. The number of Australians aged 65 and over will peak between 2011 and 2021, reaching around 6.5 million or one-quarter of the total population. (Australian Health and Welfare, Older Australia at a Glance, 3rd ed.)
