Bar graph showing the proportion of Indigenous Australians who had an Indigenous-specific follow-up service within 12 months of their Indigenous-specific health check, by number of follow-ups and type of follow-up (Allied Health service or service from a practice nurse or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioner), by financial year of the health check.
Among Indigenous Australians who had an Indigenous-specific health check in 2018–19: 20% had 1 Indigenous-specific follow-up within 12 months of the Indigenous-specific health check; 10% had 2 Indigenous-specific follow-ups; 5% had 3 Indigenous-specific follow-ups; 3% had 4 Indigenous-specific follow-ups; 9% had 5 or more Indigenous-specific follow-ups. Indigenous-specific health check patients more commonly received Indigenous-specific follow-up care from a practice nurse or an Indigenous health practitioner than from an allied health service provider.
