GEOGRAPHY Australia, state, territories and capital city/balance of state (excluding territories). Small area predictors have been developed however no education data are available at this level. METHOD OF COLLECTION The survey had a household component a cared accommodation component.For the household component, trained ABS interviewers were used to collect data. Detailed personal interviews were conducted with all persons with a disability persons aged 60 years or more and people who were primary carers for people in one of these groups. A subset of the data collected from the household component of the survey was obtained about people in cared accommodation using a mail-back form completed by an administrative staff member of the establishment. This collection identified disability status and assistance needs. The questions asked were similar to those included in the household component of the survey. In some cases minor modifications were made to make them relevant to cared accommodation facilities. TIMING OF COLLECTION Reference Period June to November in 2003. Frequency of Collection Now conducted every six years. Historical Data The five surveys of disability conducted in 1981, 1988, 1993,1998 and 2003 have much of their collected material in common. There are differences, however, as later surveys have attempted a better coverage of disability and of specific tasks and activities previously considered too sensitive for a population survey. From 1988, the scope of the survey was also expanded to collect information about informal carers of people with a disability.
