Indigenous health checks and follow-ups

Between 2010–11 and 2018–19, the proportion of Indigenous-specific health check patients who had an Indigenous-specific follow-up within 12 months increased from 12% to 47% (Figure 16). Young Indigenous children (aged 0–4) saw the largest uptick in follow-up service rates among reported age groups over the period, increasing from 8% of health check patients in 2010–11 to 47% in 2018–19 (Figure 16).
