| Comments: | Disaggregation by Indigenous status is recommended to be reported using three-year combined data for the current reporting period due to the small number of low birth weight infants born to Indigenous mothers each year. Single year data (2008) will be reported for time-series (state/territory by Indigenous status). Most recent data available for 2011 CRC report: 2008 (calendar year data). Indigenous: Aggregated data (2006 to 2008) will be reported for the current reporting period (state and territory). Single year data (2008) will be reported for time-series (state and territory). For further detailed analysis by Indigenous status see the National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA) report.
