Two bar graphs: one graph shows the number of Indigenous-specific health check patients, by age group, who received at least 1 health check between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2020, categorised by the extent of time (months or years) between their most recent 2 health checks on or before 30 June 2020, including those with no previous health checks on record. The data are presented as stacked bars, and show that 26% of Indigenous Australians aged 55 and over had their most recent 2 health checks less than 12 months apart, compared with 17% of Indigenous Australians aged 15 to 24.
The second graph shows the mean and median number of months between most recent 2 health checks, by age group, for those Indigenous Australians who received at least 1 health check between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2020 and who had at least 2 health checks on record. Among age groups, patients aged 0 to 4 had the lowest average interval period at 16 months between health checks, and patients aged 15 to 24 had the longest average interval period at 24 months apart. Refer to table ‘HC11’ for time ranges data and table ‘HC14’ for means and medians, in data tables.
