a. Service user data are estimates after use of a statistical linkage key to account for individuals who received services from more than one service type outlet during the 12-month period. Totals for Australia may not be the sum of components because individuals may have accessed services in more than one State or territory during the 12-month period.
b. In tables the term ‘Indigenous’ refers to service users who identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. ‘Non-Indigenous’ refers to service users who reported not being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background.
c. Indigenous potential population estimates are experimental.
d. Indigenous potential population estimates are calculated by applying Indigenous/non-Indigenous sex and 10-year age group rates of severe/profound disability in each State/Territory to Indigenous and non-Indigenous population data in each State/Territory by sex and 10-year age group for people aged 0–64.
e. Indigenous population figures are based on revised ABS Series B projections of the Indigenous population by State/territory for June 2008 (ABS 2009a).
