Health Statistics of the Indigenous People

By the end of 30 June 2011, the approximate population of natives or indigenous people living in Australia was estimated to be 575,552. It has been documented that NSW is the place where a large proportion of native people are living that is 168,773 or 29 per cent of the total population of aboriginals living in Australia. The NT had the highest proportion of native people in its population which is estimated about 30 per cent of total population of NT. During 2004-2008, the leading causes of death in aboriginals living in Australia were cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and cancer. Moreover, during 2003-2005, the mortality rates in maternal cases were 2.7 times higher for native women than for non-native women. It has been documented that during 2009 and 2010, the leading cause of hospitalization among aboriginal population was ICD 'factors that influences health status and establishing contact with health services' (around forty eight per cent of hospital separations), followed by injury which is estimated about 7.4 per cent of hospital separations.

In 2008, after age adjustment, native populations were more than twice as likely as non-native population to have a core/ profound activity restriction (Thomson, et al, 2012).

He wrote many articles regarding the issues of indigenous rights.
