Notes

Amendments

4 October 2024

Footnotes have been amended in Data tables: 2022–23 SCR.Clients rates and multiple years (specifically Tables SCR.26a-c), found on the Data page and in Figure FIRST NATIONS 1 and Figure FIRST NATIONS 3, found on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (First Nations) people page. This was done to note that 2016 Census was used to derive population rates for First Nations and Non-Indigenous Australians (not the 2021 Census).

8 July 2024

In Data tables: 2022–23 Primary Health Network (PHN) geography (episodes), the column width has been expanded in table PHN AODTS NMDS Clients 7, so that the ‘Non-Indigenous Australians’ column title displays correctly.
