Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework

Dimensions of this framework

• Tier 1-Health Status and Outcomes

  This Tier covers measures of prevalence of health conditions (e.g. circulatory disease, diabetes), human function (e.g. disability), life expectancy and well-being and deaths. This Tier aims to provide an overall indication of current health status and recent trends in the health status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on a range of health issues. These issues include child and maternal health, chronic diseases, injury, communicable diseases, social and emotional wellbeing and overall health status.

  Sub-dimensions of this framework

  • Deaths

    Age and/or condition specific mortality rates.

• Tier 2-Determinants of Health

  This Tier consists of measures of the determinants of health which focus on factors outside the health system that impact on the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The domains covered in this Tier include socioeconomic status (e.g. income and education), environmental factors (e.g. overcrowding), community capacity (e.g. child protection), health behaviours (e.g. risky alcohol consumption and dietary behaviours) and person-related factors (e.g. prevalence of overweight and obesity). Such factors have been shown to have a strong association with both disease and ill-health.

  Sub-dimensions of this framework

  • Community Capacity

    Characteristics of communities and families such as population density, age distribution, health literacy, housing, community support services and transport.

  • Environmenal Factors

    Physical, chemical and biological factors such as air, water, food and soil quality resulting from chemical pollution and waste disposal.

  • Health Behaviours

    Factors that influence health status. Attitudes, beliefs knowledge and behaviours
    eg. patterns of eating, physical activity, excess alcohol consumption and smoking.

• Tier 3-Health System Performance

  This Tier includes measures of the performance of the health system including population health, primary health care and secondary/tertiary care services. Six domains are covered: effectiveness of health services, responsiveness of health services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and individuals, accessibility of services, capability and sustainability. This Tier includes measures that deal with a range of programs and service types including child and maternal health, early detection and chronic disease management, continuous care, assess to secondary/tertiary care, the health workforce and expenditure.
