aboutAbout
This collection of statistics has been chosen to highlight the current situation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia, (hereon Indigenous peoples)[1] across a range of indicators including: health; education; employment; housing; and contact with criminal justice and welfare systems. Where possible, data is also provided that identifies:

* absolute change in the situation of Indigenous peoples over the past five and ten years;
* relative change in relation to the non-Indigenous population over the past five to ten years; and
* the position of Indigenous peoples in relation to other indigenous peoples, notably those in New Zealand, Canada and the United States, and population groups around the world.
