'This report looks at health expenditure estimates per person for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians at the regional level. It also, for the first time, provides estimates of expenditure for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by disease and injury groups. This analysis shows differences in expenditure and service use that can be hard to detect in more aggregated statistics.'
