Dataset extent

Description

This dataset presents the footprint of the rate of potentially avoidable deaths per 100,000 people, age-standardised, by sex. Potentially avoidable deaths are deaths below the age of 75 from conditions that are potentially preventable through individualised care and/or treatable through existing primary or hospital care. The data spans the years of 2009-2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) geographic areas from the 2016 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

The data is based on analysis of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Mortality Database (NMD). The database includes cause of death information which is sourced from the Registrars of Births, Deaths and Marriages in each state and territory, the National Coronial Information System, and compiled and coded by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
