Despite relatively high standards of health and health care in Australia, not all Australians fare equally well in terms of their health and longevity. Substantial mortality inequalities exist in the Australian population, in terms of overall mortality, and for most leading causes of death, and these inequalities are long-standing.
Males have a mortality rate that is 1.5 times as high as females
Indigenous Australians mortality rate was nearly 2 times as high as non-Indigenous Australians
Remote and Very remote areas had mortality rates that were 1.4 times as high as Major cities
The lowest socioeconomic group had mortality rates that were 1.3 times as high as the highest socioeconomic group
