Abstract
Significant rises in both the absolute number and the percentage of older people are evident in developed countries, and Australia is no exception. The findings of this study relating to transport and the experiences and the opinions of seniors provide guidance for the development of initiatives to improve the mobility of Adelaide's ageing population. This research reports the analysis of two sets data namely data from the primary survey done in 2012 and Census data of 2011. The research finds that the distribution of people aged 85 years and over is explained better by an area's access to health services. This research also demonstrates that it is quite likely that there will be a serious mismatch between the older people who need assistance and health service resources if the current spatial distribution of health facilities remain same.
