Older people make up a considerable proportion of Australia’s population—at 30 June 2020, over 1 in 6 people were aged 65 and over. The report details the demographic profile of older Australians, and adopts a person-centred model to report on their health and wellbeing across key domains. Feature articles further explore aspects of health and wellbeing for particular populations of older Australians. The report also identifies opportunities to address data gaps in our understanding of older Australians' experiences.
