Abstract

The percentage of births to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers reported to the MDC ranged from 65 to 70 per cent between 2001 and 2004. Reporting varied markedly between area health services, ranging from 43.6 per cent in the Sydney South West Area to 91.1 per cent in the Greater Western Area in 2004 (Table 33, Figure 2).
