This report records the results of an NT Department of Health and Community Services
project, supported by ABS, which updates and enhances existing population estimates
for Health Zones. The methodology utilised in this project has been developed in
consultations with representatives from NT Aboriginal Health Forum partners, however
at the stage of printing, the methods and population estimates in this project have not
been formally approved for use by the NT Aboriginal Health Forum. The report is required in order to plan, administer and assess the health benefits of the Primary Health Care Access Program, a joint Commonwealth and NT Government scheme to facilitate NT Aboriginal people's access to appropriate primary health care services.
