Notes
- This section reflects the number and proportion of health check patients who received a First Nations follow-up service in the 12 months following their health check, by the year that their health check was delivered.
- Some records from a small number of service providers have been excluded due to data quality concerns.
Geographic information
This analysis is based on the postcode of the patient’s given mailing address. As a result, the data may not always reflect where the person actually lived – particularly for people who use PO boxes. This is likely to impact some areas more than others and will also have a generally greater impact on the accuracy of smaller geographic areas.
