Aims: To develop the Activity Card Sort (ACS) - Australia as a tool to measure participation in activities of daily living for older adults. Methods: Secondary data analysis of activity diaries of older Australians in Brisbane and Adelaide were utilised for item generation. Survey of older adults and cluster analysis was used for item selection and determination of domains for the ACS-Australia. Results: The final ACS-Australia is comprised of 82 activity items, falling under the three domains of household activities, social/educational activities and leisure activities. Conclusions: The ACS-Australia has robust properties, wide application and provides a culturally relevant tool to measure participation of older Australians, thus will facilitate rigorous clinical and population-based research.
