  • hospital sector
  • Indigenous status
  • remoteness (Australian Standard Geographic Classification Remoteness Structure)
  • SEIFA IRSD quintiles

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.
