The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has developed core monitoring information on the prevalence, incidence, hospitalisation and deaths from chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Australia. This is updated on a regular basis on the AIHW website to ensure that current information and trends are readily available.

  • Cat. no: CDK 16
Findings from this report:
  • An estimated 1 in 10 Australian adults (10%)—about 1.7 million people in 2011–12—had biomedical signs of CKD

  • 1.8 million hospitalisations were associated with CKD in 2017–18—16% of all hospitalisations in Australia

  • 70% of CKD hospitalisations (excluding dialysis) occur at ages 65 and over

  • In 2017-18, Indigenous Australians had regular dialysis rates that were 11 times as high as the non-Indigenous rate
