For a full description of the MBS items included for this indicator see the last 2016-17 MBS schedule: http://www.mbsonline.gov.au/internet/mbsonline/publishing.nsf/Content/Downloads-201705 Presented as a number of services per 100,000 people. Rates are directly age-sex standardised, to the 2001 Australian population, using 5-year age groups: 18-24, 25-29, … , 80-84, 85 and over. For more information about age-standardisation in general see /content/index.phtml/itemId/327276 A patient’s age is calculated in years as the difference between the patient’s date of birth and date of service, as recorded in the MBS claim. Date of birth and sex are as recorded on a patient’s last processed claim for any service in the processing period. Claim records are allocated to a financial year based on the date the service was provided to the patient. For example for 2016–17, the date of service is between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2017. Date of claim processing is between 1 July 2016 and 28 February 2018. Analysis by Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) 2016 is based on the patient's Medicare enrolment postcode at date of service, as recorded in the MBS claim. Suppress data (number and rate) if at least one of the following conditions are met:
Age-sex standardised rates are also suppressed where the denominator for at least one of the age-sex groups used to calculate the rate is below 30 and results of sensitivity analysis indicate that the rates are volatile. However, for SA3 data, if the volatility of the rate is not found to have a material impact on its decile, the rate is published with caution.

Methodology: | Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3s) are geographic areas defined in the ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The aim of SA3s is to create a standard framework for the analysis of ABS data at the regional level through clustering groups of SA2s that have similar regional characteristics. There are 340 spatial SA3s covering the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps. They are designed to provide a regional breakdown of Australia. SA3s generally have a population of between 30,000 and 130,000 people. There are approximately 78 with fewer than 30,000 people and 46 with more than 130,000 as at 30 June 2016. The Other Territories of Jervis Bay, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Christmas Island and Norfolk Island are each represented by a SA3 in the 2016 ASGS. For further information see the ABS publication, Population by Age and Sex, Regions of Australia, 2016. ABS. cat. no. 3235.0.
