Young Australians: their health and wellbeing 2011 is the fourth in a series of national statistical reports on young people aged 12-24 years produced by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). This report provides the latest available information on how Australia's young people are faring according to national indicators of health and wellbeing.

Key findings

Many young Australians are faring well according to the national indicators presented in this report; however, there is considerable scope for further gains, particularly among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people.

The good news

Large declines in death rates (mostly due to declines in injury deaths).

Declines in asthma hospitalisations, notifications for hepatitis (A, B and C) and improved survival for cancer, with survival for melanoma very high.

Favourable trends in some risk and protective factors, such as declines in smoking and illicit substance use, and most Year 10 and Year 12 students using contraception.

The majority of young people rate their health as 'good', 'very good' or 'excellent'.

Most young people are achieving national minimum standards for reading, writing and numeracy, are fully engaged in study or work, and have strong support networks.

Most young people are able to get support from outside the household in times of crisis.

Things to work on

Rising rates of diabetes and sexually transmissible infections (largely chlamydia), and high rates of mental disorders and, among males, road transport accident deaths.

Too many young people are overweight or obese, not meeting physical activity or fruit and vegetable guidelines, are drinking at risky or high-risk levels for short-term or long-term harm, are victims of alcohol- or drug-related violence, or are homeless.

Although there have been improvements in some of these areas, the rates remain too high.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people

Indigenous young people are far more likely to be disadvantaged across a broad range of health, community and socioeconomic indicators compared with non-Indigenous young people. They are:

twice as likely to die from all causes (6 times as likely from assault and 4 times from suicide)

10 and 6 times as likely to have notifications for sexually transmissible infections and hepatitis

6 times as likely to be teenage mothers

6-7 times as likely to be in the child protection system

15 times as likely to be in juvenile justice supervision or in prison

twice as likely to be unemployed or on income support

3 times as likely to live in overcrowded housing

2-3 times as likely to be daily smokers.

Young people living in remote areas

have higher death rates

have more dental decay

are less likely to access general practitioners

are less likely to be meet minimum standards for reading, writing and numeracy and to be studying for a qualification

are more likely to be in jobless families and live in overcrowded housing.

Data gaps

There are still a number of indicators for which there is a lack of national data, data for relevant age groups or recent available data including sun protection, sexual and reproductive health, community participation, sexual assault, oral health and mental health.

Some indicators require significant indicator and data development-family functioning, and school relationships and bullying-and there are other areas of emerging concern that may require future indicator development. These include sleep disorders, media and communications, and the effects of climate change.

Risk factors contributing to chronic disease (AIHW)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Chronic diseases are responsible for a large portion of the disease burden in Australia, and many are highly preventable by reducing known risk factors. This report shows that: ~Most people have at least one risk factor and more than 90% do not consume enough vegetables. ~Social disadvantage is associated with risky health behaviours.

Musculoskeletal conditions as underlying and associated causes of death 2013 (AIHW)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Musculoskeletal conditions are responsible for a substantial proportion of the non-fatal burden of disease in Australia. This bulletin describes the contribution of musculoskeletal conditions to mortality. Although musculoskeletal conditions were not among the leading underlying causes of death, this bulletin shows that these conditions were likely to have contributed to about 1 in 20 deaths in Australia in 2013.
