Notes

1. Baseline value is the latest year of data that was available for each target at the time the National Preventive Health Strategy 2021–2030 was developed. Progress is measured against this baseline value, noting that there might be earlier data before the baseline year. Baseline level data for some indicators are also revised throughout the years and may be different to that included in the published strategies. For each target, where possible, a longer-term time trend is presented in the Interactive dashboard.
2. Latest value is the current latest year of data available to measure progress against the baseline value, as of 12 December 2024.
3. For interpretation of tracking the progress, see Table 1: Key for tracking against the targets of the National Preventive Health Strategy.
4. This target has been updated since publication of the National Preventive Health Strategy in 2021. It has been updated here to align with the National Strategy for the Elimination of Cervical Cancer in Australia.
5. From February 2023, HPV vaccines were administered as a single-dose vaccine rather than a two-dose vaccine. This change contributed to the rise in vaccination rates.
