Australia’s Health 2022 Report
August 1st, 2022
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) 18th biennial report Australia’s health 2022 (7 July 2022) presents an overview of health in Australia and looks back at the impacts of COVID-19 through a long-term lens.
The report considers health to be much more than the presence or absence of disease – health reflects the complex interactions of a person’s genetics, lifestyle and environment, and is fundamental to an individual’s wellbeing.
The Australia’s health 2022 report is a mix of short statistical updates and longer discussions exploring selected topical health issues, including a focus on the health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
