National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey 2022–23

The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey (NATSIHS) 2022–23 was conducted from August 2022 to March 2024. Data was collected from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged zero years and over around Australia, in both non-remote and remote areas, including discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The survey focused on the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and was developed following extensive consultation to identify priority data requirements and data gaps. Information was collected on long-term and chronic health conditions, as well as health risk factors such as smoking and vaping, alcohol consumption, and physical activity.

The survey was designed to provide reliable estimates at the national and state/territory levels and by remoteness. Estimates for the Australian Capital Territory are not able to be published separately but are included in national estimates.
