This publication provides information for the 1999-2000 financial year about the diagnoses of people identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander in public and private hospital morbidity collections, and the procedures performed on them in hospital. Comparisons undertaken between Indigenous and non-Indigenous rates are based on population estimates for the same period.
