PHIDU - Potential Years of Life Lost - Persons (PHN) 2014-2018

This dataset, released February 2021, contains the potential years of life for all death of persons aged 0 to 14, 15 to 24, 25 to 44, 45 to 64 and 65 to 74, over the years 2014 to 2018. Potential years of life lost represents the sum of the actual age at death and 75 years of age.

The data is by Primary Health Network (PHN) 2017 geographic boundaries based on the 2016 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

There are 31 PHNs set up by the Australian Government. Each network is controlled by a board of medical professionals and advised by a clinical council and community advisory committee. The boundaries of the PHNs closely align with the Local Hospital Networks where possible.

For more information please see the data source notes on the data.
