Material on older Australians in Australia's Health
Australia's Health, the AIHW's report to Parliament, is published every two years (in even numbered years).
This report contains information on the health of Australians, the determinants of health, health resources and use of services, health monitoring and the development of health information, and on the health of specific population groups.
The links below will take you to the chapters containing information on the health of older Australians. In 2004, a full chapter on the health of older Australians was included.
