State and territory estimates

Disease burden, as well as the number of deaths in 2011, 2015 and 2018 have been estimated for each Australian state and territory by sex, age group, disease group and by specific disease or injury.

Use the ‘State/territory estimates’ interactive graphs to explore the number of deaths, and the number or rate of disease burden (DALY, YLD or YLL) in each Australian state or territory for diseases (or disease groups) of interest. 

Use the ‘State/territory comparison’ interactive graphs to compare the age-standardised rate of disease burden (DALY, YLD or YLL) across states and territories for disease groups in 2011, 2015 or 2018 by sex. The table showing age-standardised rates compares the state/territory with the national average (Australia) and colours the cells if lower (blue) or higher (yellow, orange or red).

See Chapter 8 in the Australian Burden of Disease Study: impact and causes of illness and death in Australia 2018 report for more information on burden by state/territory.
 

Tab 1: This interactive data visualisation gives an overview of burden of disease in Australia by state and territory. There are 3 sections which can be customised to report data according to state or territory, type of burden, year, sex, disease group and disease. The first section is a sentence which reports the total amount and rate of burden (per 1,000 population) for the selected state or territory, type of burden, year, sex, disease group and disease. The second section is a column chart which reports the amount of burden by 5-year age groups for the selected state or territory, type of burden, year, sex, disease group and disease. A line graph is superimposed on the column chart to show the rate of burden (per 1,000 population) by 5-year age groups. The third section is a tree map showing the amount of burden due to each disease and injury for the selected state or territory, type of burden, year, sex and disease group. Each rectangle within the tree map represents a different disease or injury, is shaded according to the disease group it belongs to and is sized proportionately to the amount of burden the disease or injury caused. 

Tab 2: This interactive data visualisation compares the age-standardised rates of burden (per 1,000 population) of each state and territory and of the whole of Australia. There are 2 sections which can be customised to report data according to type of burden, year, sex and disease group. The first section is a column chart which reports the age-standardised rate of burden (per 1,000 population) for each state and territory and of the whole of Australia for the selected type of burden, year, sex and disease group. The second section is a table which reports the age-standardised rates of burden (per 1,000 population) of each state and territory and of the whole of Australia for each of the specific diseases within the disease group selected and according to the type of burden, year and sex selected. Cells of the table are shaded to indicate whether the rate is equal or lower than the national average or the degree to which the rate is higher than the national average.
