Health Expenditure Australia 2001-02 examines expenditure on health goods and services in Australia for 1991-92 to 2000-01 and presents preliminary estimates for 2001-02. It shows that Australia spent over $66 billion on health in 2001-02, a rise of $11 billion since 1999-00. This report presents expenditure estimates at the aggregate level; as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP); on a per person basis; by state; by comparison with selected OECD countries; and by source of funding - Commonwealth, other government and non-government. This report will be helpful to anyone interested in studying, analysing and comparing estimates of health expenditure in Australia.
