Indigenous Australians health and welfare publications

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has published performance framework reports for each State. They provide the latest information on how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are faring in each State according to a range of indicators on health status, determinants of health and health system performance.

Another report from the AIHW recently released is Expenditure on health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people 2010-11.  In that period, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population was 2.5% of the total Australian population, and health expenditure for that sector as 3.7% of the total.
