Comments:![]() | Most recent data available for 2020 National Healthcare Agreement performance reporting: 2016–18 (total population only); 2015–17 (Indigenous population, non-Indigenous population). The Life Tables, States, Territories and Australia (cat. no. 3302.0.55.001) publication is produced annually, for life expectancy for the total Australian population only. Estimates in this publication are not to be used to compare with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander life expectancy estimates published in Life Tables for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians (cat. no. 3302.0.55.003). The reference year for 2020 national reporting of life expectancy estimates for the total population is 2016–18 (to be published on 30 October 2019). The Life Tables for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians (cat. no. 3302.0.55.003) publication is produced every 5 years. Non-Indigenous estimates in this publication are to be used as a comparator to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander life expectancy estimates. The reference year for 2020 national reporting of life expectancy estimates for the Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations is 2015–17 (published on 29 November 2018). This source is to be used until the next issue (for the reference year 2020–2022) is released in 2023. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander estimates of life expectancy are not produced for Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania or the Australian Capital Territory due to the small number of Indigenous deaths reported in these jurisdictions. |
