Latest figures released in a report today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) show the incidence of cervical cancer among Australian women remains at an historic low since 2002. The report, Cervical screening in Australia 2008­-2009, shows there were 9 new cases of cervical cancer per 100,000 women aged 20-69 in 2007, with mortality at 2 deaths per 100,000 women.

The cost of treating skin cancer is set to rise by more than $700 million over the next five years as the Australian population ages.

RURAL cancer patients are more likely to die than those in urban areas, according to a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia.

This summary includes the following information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples: population births deaths common health problems health risk and protective factors. This summary uses information from the most up-to-date sources to help create a picture of the health of Australia's Indigenous people.

The literature reports that health and wellbeing are the product of social influences [1]. The social factors shown to impact on health are many and range from macro-level influences (e.g., history) to individual influences (e.g., psychological disposition). Given the diversity of social factors affecting health, this summary will focus on education, employment, and income in the Indigenous Australian population. Each social indicator will be discussed using current data to indicate how Indigenous people fare in comparison with non-Indigenous people. Essentially this summary will summarise the significant disadvantages Indigenous people experience in the areas of education, employment, and income, in which context their generally poorer health status should be viewed.

While Canada, the United States and New Zealand have managed to lift the health standards in their Indigenous communities since the 1980s, Australian Aboriginal people suffer a worsening health crisis as these statistics show.
