The Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers (SDAC) is a national survey conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) to collect comprehensive data on people living with disability, older Australians (aged 65 and over), and those who provide unpaid care. The 2022 survey aimed to inform policy and service planning by capturing information on health, support needs, social participation, and living arrangements. It included both household and cared-accommodation populations and introduced an online self-completion option for the first time, enhancing accessibility and coverage.
