| Disaggregation: | State and territory (by categories and total) Nationally by:
Disaggregations within individual jurisdictions are subject to data quality considerations. Some disaggregations may result in numbers too small for publication. National disaggregation by Indigenous status will be based on data only from jurisdictions for which the quality of Indigenous identification is considered acceptable. |

| Comments: | Potentially preventable hospitalisations are called ‘ambulatory care sensitive hospitalisations’ in some jurisdictions. Changes in the ICD-10-AM 6th Edition (in use from July 2008) relating to the PPH categories ‘Dehydration and gastroenteritis’ (acute conditions) and ‘Diabetes complications’ (chronic conditions) have impacted the comparability of 2008–09 data with the previous reporting period.
