The paper describes a range of characteristics of the population of persons identified as having mental retardation in Victoria, Australia in January, 1983. The data are maintained on a computerized client data bank which functions in conjunction with a client information system maintained by the Mental Retardation Division of the Health Commission of Victoria. Some implications are drawn from an analysis of the data for the future provision of services for persons with mental retardation in Victoria. Comparisons are drawn between data on similar populations in two other Australian States.
