Jurisdictional Snapshots

Back

The snapshots include analysis of measures on eye health and access to eye care services for Indigenous Australians at both jurisdictional and Primary Health Network level. Minum Barreng published snapshot reports in 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023. From 2024, AIHW began publishing jurisdictional eye health measures reports (InFocus reports for states and territories).

Jurisdictional Snapshots

Minum Barreng: Indigenous Eye Health at The University of Melbourne prepared jurisdictional snapshots of some of the key data available in the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW)'s annual Indigenous Eye Health Measures and other publicly available data sources for 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

The snapshots include analysis of measures on eye health and access to eye care services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians at both jurisdictional and regional levels.

The AIHW reports and snapshots demonstrate the progress that is being made. However, they also indicate that more work is needed to address a range of inequities to end avoidable blindness and vision loss for First Nations Australians.
