To calculate age-standardized rates, age-specific rates (grouped in 5-year intervals) were multiplied against a standard population. Directly age-standardized rates were adjusted using the current Australian standard population (that is, the non-recast Australian estimated resident population (ERP) as at 30 June 2001)
Remoteness Areas divide Australia into 5 classes of remoteness on the basis of a measure of relative access to services.
