Comparisons across survey cycles

The estimated proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with an AMS/CC in their local area changed little between 2018–19 and 2022–23 (Figure 3). However, the proportion with a mainstream GP was significantly higher in 2022–23 compared with 2012–13 and 2018–19.

Figure 3: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, type of health services available in their local area, by survey cycle

Bar chart shows that 83% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people had a mainstream GP in their local area in 2012–13, 85% in 2018–19 and 90% in 2022–23.Notes:

  1. Respondents were asked to tick all that were available.
  2. Because 3 additional service types were included in the list for children aged 0–14 in the 2022–23 NATSIHS, ‘other’ is not comparable to previous survey cycles and is excluded from this figure. Data for ‘none’ is also excluded because the estimates had a relative standard error between 25% and 50% and should be used with caution.
  3. Data are population weighted estimates.
  4. While non-overlapping confidence intervals (CIs) generally indicate statistical significance, overlapping CIs do not necessarily imply that a difference is not significant. See Technical notes for more information.
