Hepatitis infection

53. In 2004, it was estimated that 259,000 people in Australia were living with Hepatitis C and that 75 per cent of these people had cirrhosis or other Hepatitis C related liver disease.

54. In 2004, among Hepatitis cases with known Indigenous status, Indigenous Australians accounted for 11 per cent of Hepatitis A cases, 6.5 per cent of hepatitis B (incident) cases and 4.7 per cent of Hepatitis C (unspecified) cases. Indigenous Australians are 2.4 per cent of the total population of Australia.^²⁵

55. In 2004, Hepatitis B (incident) infections continued to decline. Universal infant Hepatitis B immunisation was introduced in Australia in May 2000. The full effect of vaccination on the overall incidence may take a number of years to be evident in childhood rates of Hepatitis B infection. Approximately 95 per cent of infants are currently receiving Hepatitis B vaccination in Australia.

Sexually transmissible infections

56. Chlamydia is the most frequently reported sexually transmissible infection (STI) in Australia. The population rate of reported diagnoses from 2000 to 2005 has more than doubled. The population rates of diagnoses of syphilis and gonorrhoea have increased over this period. The following tables show rates of sexually transmissible infections amongst males, females and different age groups in Australia between 2000 and 2004. The following tables show rates of sexually transmissible infections amongst Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations 2001 2005 and males, females and different age groups in Australia between 2004 and 2005.
