Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander specific primary health care: results from the OSR and nKPI collections

Of the 9 preventative health measures presented in Table 1, one has improved, 3 showed no (or limited) change and 5 have not improved over time.

Trends for collection periods from June 2020 onwards have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially the process-of-care indicators. For more information on the impact of COVID-19 see Related material. For more information on interpreting changes over time see Technical notes. For more information on changes to indicator specifications see Interpreting nKPI data.

1. Trend is calculated as a linear trend of proportions in comparable periods between the June 2017 and June 2023 collection periods, including the December collection periods. Comparable periods may vary between indicators, for example, if there is a break in series. Where there has been a break in series, only the trend following the break is presented in Table 1. For data over time for all available periods see Data. For trends before and after a break in series see the visualisations on each indicator pages.
2. There have been changes to the specification of this indicator over time. Data are not comparable over time for some components of this indicator. For more information see Interpreting nKPI data.
3. There have been changes to the specification of this indicator over time, however, data can be compared between periods with caution. For more information see Interpreting nKPI data.

Notes

1. Key: ✔ = improved; X = not improved; ≈ = little or no change.
2. Some of the indicators in the national Key Performance Indicators (nKPI) collection have, or can be split into, more than one part.
3. Reporting to the nKPI collection for June 2020, December 2020 and June 2021 was made voluntary in acknowledgement of the additional pressures on organisations because of COVID-19.
4. For more information, including on interpreting changes over time, see Technical notes.
