The National Survey of Adult Oral Health (State and territory reports)

The report, separated by States and Territories, presents findings from the 2004-06 National Survey of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH).

Information was collected using interviews and standardised dental examinations that were conducted among sample of residents aged 15 years or more. Three major themes are reported in chapters describing oral health status, oral health care and perceptions of oral health.

Statistics summarising those themes are tabulated for adult population and for three age groups that are further classified according to: sex, residential locality, socioeconomic status of the area in which they live, government health cardholder status and dental insurance.
