Computation description: | A generation is defined as 25 years. Life expectancy for total population is calculated for a rolling 3-year period and reported annually. Life expectancy for Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations is calculated for a rolling 3-year period and reported every 5 years. Presented as number of years. |
---|---|
Computation: | Calculated by direct estimation of life expectancy at birth for all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians using the average number of deaths in the 3-year period and the estimated resident population at a mid-point of that period. |
Numerator: | The gap estimate does not have a numerator or denominator. The average number of years a person could expect to live from the day they are born, if they experienced mortality rates at each age, that are currently experienced by the relevant population. |

Comments: | Most recent data available for 2018 National Healthcare Agreement performance reporting: 2010–2012. NO NEW DATA FOR 2018 REPORTING. Baseline: 2005–2007. Indigenous estimates of life expectancy are not produced for Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania or the Australian Capital Territory due to the small number of Indigenous deaths reported in these jurisdictions. |
