This is a technical report on Australian hospital separations due to injury and poisoning for 2000-01 and 2001-02, focussing on cases identified as being Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons. It follows on from a previous report (Helps & Harrison 2004), examining patterns of injury mortality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The report focuses on a region consisting of grouped jurisdictions of better quality of Indigenous ascertainment in hospital separations data (SA, WA, NT, Qld). Injury hospital admissions have been examined to determine relationships with remoteness of place of usual residence and types of external cause of injury, and age and sex.

The report is available as a PDF document (~ 827 Kb).
