Definition: | A code set representing the level of need for assistance in executing a task or action from the Activities and Participation component of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF 2001). |
Context: | Need for assistance with activities of daily living is collected in the ABS Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers and from 2006 will be collected in the population census. This value domain has been designed so that need for assistance data collected in a range of health and community services settings can be related to these population data. This will increase the comparability of a wide range of data sets within Australia. |
