nKPI – preventative health indicators

Since December 2022, of the 10 preventative health measures presented in Figure 20, 7 have improved, 2 showed no (or limited) change and one measure was not assessed because there were not enough periods available to assess the trend.

The data visualisation below (Figure 20) presents a selected measure, the change over time and a gauge showing the direction of the trend. For more information about these measures see the page for each indicator. Data tables supporting this visualisation are available at Data.

  1. Trend is presented as a linear trend of proportions in comparable periods, including the June and December collection periods. The linear trend lines provide a general impression of the direction of the data. P-values were used to test the statistical significance of the trend. Indicators with no change either have high p-values and/or slopes near zero.

Notes

  1. Only data from December 2022 onwards are included in the trends presented (see Comparisons over time for more information). For trends for comparable periods before December 2022, see the visualisations on each indicator page. For data for all available periods see Data. For more information on changes to indicator specifications see Changes to indicators.
  2. Some of the indicators in the national Key Performance Indicators (nKPI) collection have, or can be split into, more than one part.
  3. PI12: BMI result – normal weight is calculated as a proportion of First Nations regular clients aged 18 and over who had their BMI calculated.
