Indigenous Health and Welfare Statistics

The information presented in this Indigenous health and welfare statistics App was derived from The health and welfare of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples 2015 report. That Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) report provides a comprehensive statistical picture of a range of topics considered important for improving the health and welfare of Indigenous Australians. The report, which is the eighth in a series, presents up-to-date statistics, as well as trend information. It examines differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, as well as differences by factors such as age, sex and remoteness.

The Indigenous App provides statistics and fast facts on: the Indigenous population, education and work, housing and community safety, determinants of health, health and disability, life expectancy and mortality, health and welfare services, and expenditure and workforce. The App allows you to compile a list of your favourites for future reference. It also contains a glossary for your easy reference.

The AIHW is a major national agency set up by the Australian Government to provide reliable, regular and relevant information and statistics on Australias health and welfare.
