nKPI – clients

There were over 378,000 First Nations regular clients at June 2022 (that is, First Nations clients who had visited the organisation 3 or more times in the 2 years up to 30 June 2022). This is based on estimates provided by the organisations, and may differ from the number of First Nations regular clients reported as indicator denominators (see Data for more information).

First Nations regular clients, age group and sex by reporting period and organisation type

Indigenous regular clients, by age group and sex and select reporting period, select organisation type

This Tableau visualisation shows the number of Indigenous regular clients by organisation type (select All, ACCHO, non-ACCHO) with a stacked bar for sex (male, female) within each age group (0–4, 5–14, 15–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65+).

Data supporting this visualisation are available in Excel supplementary data tables at Archived content.

Notes

  1. Prior to December 2020, results were calculated using the denominator of PI03 for First Nations regular clients aged 0–4 and the denominator of PI09 for First Nations regular clients aged 15 and over.
  2. From December 2020 onward, all age groups for both sexes were collected for First Nations regular clients and results are calculated using the denominator of PI03 only.
  3. See Technical notes for more information, including on interpreting changes over time.

 

At June 2022, 42% of the estimated resident First Nations population were First Nations regular clients of organisations reporting to the nKPI collection.

First Nations regular clients as a proportion of the estimated resident First Nations population, by reporting period and state/territory

Indigenous regular clients as a proportion of the estimated resident Indigenous population, by state/territory, June 2022

This Tableau visualisation shows Indigenous regular clients as a proportion of the estimated resident Indigenous population (Indigenous ERP) by state/territory (NSW/ACT, Vic, Qld, WA, SA, Tas, NT, Australia) for June 2022.

Data supporting this visualisation are available in Excel supplementary data tables at Archived content.

Notes

  1. In some cases clients may be counted at more than one organisation. The number of First Nations clients being greater than the First nations ERP is most common in Remote and Very remote areas.
  2. ERP is at 30 June of the relevant reporting period. The ERP may vary from that used for the OSR collection because of differences in reporting periods.
  3. Total is the sum of the states and territories and does not include external territories.
  4. See Technical notes for more information, including on interpreting changes over time.
