Further data development / collection required: | Specification: Interim Consideration needs to be given to improving the prevalence measure of common/high prevalence mental disorders in the Australian community. The current measure (ABS National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing) has only been conducted twice in the last ten years and is designed to provide national estimates and cannot provide some of the desired disaggregations. The national survey only captures common/high prevalence mental disorders. A survey of low prevalence disorders is being conducted 2009–10. Work needs to continue to improve the completeness of the Voluntary Indigenous Identifier in the Medicare database. This includes the development of an adjustment factor for MBS data, using data from a currently available sample. This indicator would ideally be related to the number of Indigenous Australians with mental illness. |
Other issues caveats: | Disaggregation by state/territory produces reliable estimates for six jurisdictions only. Some disaggregations could result in numbers too small for publication. MBS item numbers change over time and need to be updated as required. As of 1 July 2009, a diagnosis of mental illness is required to access these plans, and the item name changed to GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. During 2008–09, a diagnosis of mental illness was not required to access a GP Mental Health Care Plan. Therefore data reported by the CRC in 2011 will not be directly comparable to that reported by the CRC in 2010. |
