Data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has been released as a royal commission investigates the scandal-prone aged care sector.

The ageing strategy aims to provide appropriate planning to ensure community environments, infrastructure and services are appropriate for older people.

Bupa South Hobart is one of ten Bupa-operated age care facilities sanctioned between July 2018 and March 2019.

Bupa introduced policies to cut nurse hours at its facilities to save money but didn't appear to give adequate attention to residents' care, lawyers tell royal commission.

The 90-bed home in the Gold Coast hinterland for LGBTI elders is a mix of permanent and dementia care.

The appeal is expected to go ahead next year.

"We were praying together for strength for the fire people and strength for each and every one of us," said the hospital chaplain.

Judith King has given evidence at Hobart hearings of the royal commission into aged care.

The five day hearing will focus on the operations of two Tasmanian aged care providers, Southern Cross Care Tasmania and Bupa Aged Care Australia.
