The data at the link below show the poorer health status and outcomes experienced by many Aboriginal people, when compared with the non-Indigenous population – whether for low birth weight babies, avoidable deaths, hospitalisations, and many other indicators. The graphs show how the difference exists across levels of socioeconomic status and by remoteness. These are long-standing concerns, defying current attempts to address them.

Variations in cancer incidence by socioeconomic status and remoteness, 2014 to 2018

The largest variations in cancer incidence by socioeconomic status are seen for lung cancer (92% higher in the Most disadvantaged area (when compared with the Least disadvantaged areas) and 54% higher for females) and melanoma of the skin (with a 23% lower incidence for males, and a 38% lower incidence for females, in the Most disadvantage areas).
Rates for all cancers examined (other than lung cancer) were lowest in the Very Remote areas, suggesting a lack of access to early diagnosis. For lung cancer, rates were lower in the Remote and Very Remote areas.

Non-English-speaking residents by length of residence in Australia

Data are now available of people born in predominantly non-English-speaking countries to compare with participation rates and outcomes from screening programs – Bowel cancer, Breast cancer and Cervical cancer.

Public hospital emergency departments are a key element of the Australian health system, providing care to people who need it urgently. Mapping of emergency department presentations over time in areas where patients live enables us to geographically examine the degree and persistence of the demand for, and, supply of, this essential health service across Australia. This new evidence can inform policy makers to help strengthen current health care models or help deliver alternative care options, providing pathways and solutions that are tailored and targeted to meet the needs and preferences of the underlying populations.

PHIDU has created a number of new training videos including:
How to: Find a suburb or locality,
How to: Produce a data profile of an area or group of areas,
How to: Aggregate data to larger areas for a percent, IRSD and age standardised rate/ratio, and re-base age standardised ratio/rate.
Webinar: provides an introduction to the PHIDU website; and how to access and use the maps (single, double, and area profile),
data, graphs, publications, population pyramids, and how to map your own data.
