Denominator

Estimated Indigenous potential population for disability services aged 0–64 years on 30 June at start of reporting period.

Although the definition of potential population is under review by the National Disability Data Network, theNational Disability Information Management Group (NDIMG)agreed to adopt the conventional definition until the review completes. That is, people aged under 65 years with profound or severe core activity limitation will be used for the baseline CRC report.

The method used to calculate the Indigenous potential population will be the same as that adopted by the Disability Services Working Group for calculation of special needs group indicators for the Report on Government Services 2010. That method incorporates 2006 Census data.
