The aim of this study was to evaluate trends in rates of young people entering and leaving residential aged care from 2008 to 2018.Many more young people are admitted to residential aged care each year than return to community living, with no sustained change between 2008 and 2018 at the national level. Age standardisation is crucial for evaluating systemic population-level change regarding younger people living in residential aged care.
