Indigenous population (ABS data)
http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Products/946D4BC28DB92E1BCA25762A001CBF38?opendocument
The estimated resident Indigenous population of Australia at 30 June 1991 was 351,000 people. In 2006, there were 517,000 people, representing 2.5% of the total Australian population. Between 1991 and 2006 the Indigenous population increased by 2.6% per year on average, compared with 1.2% for the total Australian population.
The Indigenous population has a relatively young age structure. Between 1991 and 2006 the median age of the Indigenous population is estimated to have increased from 20.1 to 21.0 years, and is projected to increase to between 23.9 and 24.1 years in 2021.
National best practice guidelines for collecting Indigenous status in health data sets
AIHW 2010. National best practice guidelines for collecting Indigenous status in health data sets. Cat. no. IHW 29. Canberra: AIHW. http://www.aihw.gov.au/publication-detail/?id=6442468342&tab=2
In the event of a birth
For perinatal data collections, the mother’s Indigenous status should be asked directly of the mother, regardless of the information separately recorded in the hospital database. Some service providers in some jurisdictions separately ascertain and record the Indigenous status of both the mother and of the newborn baby. While the Indigenous status of the baby is not currently a requirement for perinatal data collections, this may become a requirement in future. If the Indigenous status of the newborn is to be collected, the mother should be asked to provide this information for herself and for her baby. It should not be assumed that the baby’s status is the same as that of the mother. If the mother has not reported her status as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, it should not be assumed that the newborn is therefore not of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin.
