Over a 5-year period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2018, about 469,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people received at least one Indigenous-specific health check—or over half (59%) of the Indigenous population. This included around:
- 201,000 people who received 1 health check during the 5 year period (25% of Indigenous population)
- 123,000 people who received 2 health checks (15%)
- 78,500 people who received 3 health checks (10%)
- 45,500 people who received 4 health checks (6%)
- 21,400 people who received 5 or more health checks (3%) (Figure 4).
Indigenous females were more likely than Indigenous males to have received at least one Indigenous-specific health check during the 5-year period—61% compared with 56%.
