Abstract

The percentage of births to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers reported to the MDC rose from 65.0 per cent in 2000 to 69.0 per cent in 2002. Reporting varied markedly between area health services, ranging from 50.6 per cent in the Sydney South West Area to 88.8 per cent in the Greater Western Area in 2002 (Table 34, Figure 2).
