Comments: | Most recent data available for 2013 CRC report: 2011. Baseline: 2007. A system error affected the reporting of WA Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander death registrations for 2007, 2008 and 2009 which affected the WA and national death rates reported for the 2011 and 2012 CRC reports. These data have been revised for 2013 reporting. Further details (including data for 2002–06) are available from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework (Indicator 1.19). <http://www.aihw.gov.au/publications/ihw/aatsihpf08r-da/atsihpf08r-c01-19.pdf> For further detailed analysis by Indigenous status see the National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA) report. |
