Description

This dataset presents the footprint of the number of occasions of service for Indigenous Australians with eye health professionals, per 1,000 population, under the Rural Health Outreach Fund (RHOF). The data spans the financial year of 2016-2017 and is aggregated to 2015 Department of Health Primary Health Network (PHN) areas, based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

The data is sourced from an Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) analysis of unpublished Department of Health data.

For further information about this dataset, visit the data source: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Indigenous Eye Health Measures 2017 Data Tables.

Please note:

  • AURIN has spatially enabled the original data using the Department of Health - PHN Areas.

  • RHOF services are provided in Inner regional, Outer regional, Remote and Very remote areas only and therefore only Indigenous patients seen within non-metropolitan PHNs are represented in the data.

  • The data are crude rates.

  • Patients may have more than 1 occasion of service.

  • The identification of Indigenous patients varies between practitioners, so the number of occasions of service for Indigenous patients may be understated.
