Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have higher rates of general practitioner management plans and team care arrangements than non-Indigenous Australiansimmunisation coverage rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are close to those for other Australian children by age 5some improvements in literacy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Year 3 and 5 between 2009 and 2011apparent retention rates from Year 7 to Year 10 and from Year 11 to Year 12 are higher for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Australian Capital Territory than for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people nationally.Areas of concern include:high rates of smoking during pregnancy (51% total)around half of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 18 and over reported drinking alcohol at short-term risky/high-risk levels in the past 12 months, which was higher than the proportion for non-Indigenous people and for Indigenous people nationallyalmost two-thirds (63%) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 18 and over in the Australian Capital Territory have a disability or long-term health condition, which is higher than the proportion for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people nationally (41%)breast cancer screening rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are lower than for other women

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health performance framework 2012 report: New South Wales
No full textThis report provides the latest information on how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in New South Wales are faring according to a range of indicators on health status, determinants of health and health system performance. Indicators are based on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework. The report highlights the main areas of improvement and continuing concern. For example, death rates for avoidable causes and circulatory diseases have declined since 2001, but almost half of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers smoke during pregnancy and unemployment rates continue to remain higher for Indigenous people than for non-Indigenous people.The report finds areas of improvement in the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in New South Wales, including: a 20% decline in avoidable mortality from 2001 to 2010a 35% decline in deaths due to circulatory disease, the leading cause of death for Indigenous Australians from 2001-2010a significant increase in health assessments recorded through Medicare since the introduction of the National Partnership Agreement on Closing the Gap in Indigenous Health Outcomes in July 2009corresponding increases in allied health care services claimed by Indigenous Australians through Medicare since 1 July 2009. Indigenous Australians have higher rates of general practitioner management plans and team care arrangements than non-Indigenous Australiansimmunisation coverage for Indigenous children is similar to non-Indigenous children by age 2an increase in the proportion of pregnant women attending antenatal carea 15% decline in the rate of low birthweight between 2001 and 2009. Areas of concern include: high rates of smoking during pregnancy (47%)lower rates of access to antenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancymore than half of those aged 18 and over in non-remote areas have a disability or long- term health conditionmortality rates for chronic diseases are much higher for Indigenous Australians (8 times the rate of non-Indigenous Australians for diabetes and almost twice the rate for circulatory diseases)a 286% increase in Indigenous Australians commencing end stage renal disease therapy since 1991 (currently 3 times the rate for non-Indigenous Australians)high rates of hospitalisations and deaths due to injury (particularly assault, suicide and transport accidents)barriers to accessing appropriate health care, such as cultural competency, continue to remain a problemlower access to procedures in hospitalsa large unmet need for dental care for Indigenous childrenunemployment rates continue to remain higher for Indigenous people than for non- Indigenous people (21% compared with 4% in 2008)

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health performance framework 2012 report: Victoria
No full textThis report provides the latest information on how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Victoria are faring according to a range of indicators on health status, determinants of health and health system performance. Indicators are based on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework. The report highlights the main areas of improvement and continuing concern. For example, while health assessments have increased significantly and immunisation coverage for Indigenous children is similar to non-Indigenous children by the age of 2, the incidence of treated end-stage renal disease is 4 times the rate for non-Indigenous Australians and unemployment rates continue to remain higher for Indigenous people than for non-Indigenous people.The report finds areas of improvement in the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Victoria including: a significant increase in health assessments recorded through Medicare since the introduction of the National Partnership Agreement on Closing the Gap in Indigenous Health Outcomes in July 2009corresponding increases in allied health care services claimed by Indigenous Australians through Medicare since 1 July 2009. Indigenous Australians have higher rates of general practitioner management plans and team care arrangements than non-Indigenous Australiansimmunisation coverage for Indigenous children is higher than for Indigenous children nationally and is similar to non-Indigenous children by age 2some improvements in grammar, punctuation and spelling for Indigenous students in Year 7 and 9 between 2008 and 2011. The proportions of Indigenous students achieving literacy and numeracy benchmarks are generally higher in Victoria than the national average. Areas of concern include: low birthweight is more than twice as common among babies of Indigenous mothers as among babies of non-Indigenous mothers and there has been no sign of improvement in recent yearsalmost two-thirds (62%) of those aged 18 and over in non-remote areas have a disability or long-term health conditionincidence of treated end-stage renal disease is currently 4 times the rate for non-Indigenous Australianshigh rates of hospitalisations due to injury (particularly assault, intentional self-harm and transport accidents)barriers to accessing appropriate health care, such as cultural competency continue to remain a problemlower access to procedures in hospitalsbreast cancer screening rates for Indigenous women aged 50–64 are much lower than for other women of this age (28% compared with 53% in 2008–09)unemployment rates continue to remain higher for Indigenous persons than non-Indigenous Australians (17% compared with 3% in 2008)
National key performance indicators for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary health care: results from December 2013
No full textCaptures data from over 200 primary health care organisations that receive funding from the Australian Government Department of Health to provide services primarily to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Summary
This is the second national report on the Indigenous primary health care national Key Performance Indicators (nKPIs) data collection. Data for this collection are provided to the AIHW by primary health care organisations who receive funding from the Department of Health to provide services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The purpose of the nKPIs is to improve the delivery of primary health care services by supporting continuous quality improvement (CQI) activity among service providers. The nKPIs also support policy and planning at the national and state and territory level by monitoring progress and highlighting areas for improvement.
The report presents data on 19 indicators (and 24 indicator measures) collected for 4 reporting periods over 2 years: June 2012, December 2012, June 2013 and December 2013. The number of organisations reporting increased substantially over the 4 reporting periods, from 90 in June 2012 to 207 in December 2013.
The indicators focus on chronic disease prevention and management, and on maternal and child health. There are 19 ‘process of care’ measures and 5 ‘health outcomes’ measures. The former are largely under the control of organisations and are therefore used to assess practices in primary health care. Health outcomes, on the other hand, are influenced by a wide range of factors beyond the immediate control of primary health care organisations
