National summary of the 2001 and 2002 jurisdictional reports against the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health performance indicators

by Australian Institute of Health and Welfare

Abstract

The Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council (AHMAC) produced this report (compiled by the AIHW for the Statistical Information Management Group on behalf of AHMAC) in order to inform policy makers and senior government officials on aspects of, and trends in, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.

This is the first report against the refined set of indicators endorsed by AHMAC in 2000, and the fourth time that all jurisdictions have reported against a set of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander national health performance indicators.

The report details:

• background information;
• government inputs for: improving identification of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in data collections, and expenditure on health services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and selected health promotion programs;
• determinants of health: social equity; access to service; risk markers; and
• outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
