Indigenous Portrait LGAs

Indigenous Portrait - by Commissioning Locality and Local Government Areas

Western Queensland Primary Health Network (WQPHN) have developed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander profiles (‘Indigenous Portraits’) using Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data for each of the 20 Local Government Area (LGAs) and respective WQPHN Commissioning Localities.

The Portraits have been developed using data from the Census, held every five years by the ABS, to paint a profile of the Indigenous population as it was in August 2016, and show how it has changed over the previous decade (across the three Census periods of 2006, 2011 and 2016).
