Description:Help on this term

The Better Cardiac Care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People project is an initiative of the Australian Health Ministers’ Advisory Council. It aims to reduce mortality and morbidity from cardiac conditions among Indigenous Australians by increasing access to services, better managing risk factors and treatment, and improving care coordination.

A set of 21 Better Cardiac Care measures was developed to monitor the success of the project. The complete list of 21 measures is available in the Better Cardiac Care measures for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: second national report 2016 (AIHW 2016). Data are available to report on many, but not all, of the measures. Indicator specifications have been developed for the 12 measures that have been reported to-date.

Comments:Help on this term

The term ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’ is preferred when referring to the separate Indigenous peoples of Australia. However, the term ‘Indigenous’ is used interchangeably with ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander’ in this indicator set to assist readability.
