Australia’s international health performance is in the spotlight


The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has built a tool that can be used to compare Australian data on health and healthcare with comparable international data.

International health data comparisons 2018, gives a new way of comparing Australia’s performance on variety of health-related measures using the data from 36 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries.

The tool delivers users with interactive data visualisations to create a comparison of key health indicators including life expectancy, health risk influences and causes of death. It also gives an understanding of how Australia’s healthcare system lines up, including data on our pharmaceutical market, health insurance coverage, and elective surgery waiting times.

The data shows that Australia performs well across most of the indicators.
