INTRODUCTION

In the 12 months to June 2002, the Australian resident population increased by 249,500, reaching 19,662,800 persons in total. The growth rate over this period was 1.3%, compared to an average annual growth rate of 1.2% in the previous five years, 1996-2001. Over the 20 years to 2002, the population increased by 4,478,500 (29%).
The population of all states and territories increased in the year to June 2002. Population growth was fastest in Queensland (a growth rate of 2.2%), followed by Victoria and Western Australia (each 1.4%). Slower increases were recorded in New South Wales (1.0%), the Australian Capital Territory (0.8%) South Australia (0.6%) Tasmania (0.2%) and the Northern Territory (0.1%). AGEING POPULATION The median age of the Australian population, the age at which half the population is older and half is younger, increased by 0.2 years in the year to June 2002. The median age has increased by 6.0 years in the last 20 years, from 29.9 years in June 1982 to 35.9 years in June 2002. Australia's population is ageing due to sustained low fertility (resulting in proportionally fewer children in the population), and increased life expectancy. South Australia has the oldest population As at June 2002, the population of South Australia had the highest median age of all states and territories (37.9 years). Tasmania had the second highest median age (37.7 years) followed by New South Wales (36.1 years), Victoria (36.0 years), Queensland (35.3 years), Western Australia (35.2 years), the Australian Capital Territory (33.5 years) and the Northern Territory (29.9 years). Tasmania has experienced the largest increase in median age over the last 20 years, increasing by 8.4 years from 29.2 years in 1982.

Australia in Profile: A regional analysis of SA - ABS

EMBARGO: 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 14/12/98
Jump to: Related Links
A major new social report, Australia in Profile: A Regional Analysis released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, analyses results from the 1996 Census of Population and Housing to describe some of the major differences or similarities in the characteristics and well-being of people living in different parts of Australia. This report enables comparison of South Australian regions with regions across other States and Territories.
This report capitalises on the strength of the Census which has the capacity to provide detailed information for small geographic areas. The report compares and contrasts the circumstances of people living in urban and rural areas, and identifies regions with the highest or lowest proportions of people with particular characteristics.
Australia in Profile: A Regional Analysis is divided into two main parts. The first consists of seven chapters discussing topics of social interest and concern in a range of areas including, cultural diversity, living arrangements, and employment and unemployment.
The second part of the report consists of a detailed social indicator table which presents a selection of key indicators for Statistical Local Areas - towns, shires and municipalities - across SA and Australia . At a glance South Australia can be compared with other regions in Australia.

Australia the Country
Environment
The country of Australia covers about 7.7 million square kilometres. In land area, Australia is the sixth largest nation after Russia, Canada, China, the United States of America and Brazil. Climatic zones range from tropical rainforests, deserts, and cool temperate forests to snow covered mountains.
History of Settlement
Before the arrival of European settlers, indigenous groups inhabited most areas of the Australian continent, each speaking one or more of hundreds of separate languages and developing distinct lifestyles and religious and cultural traditions in differing regions. Adaptable and creative, with a simple but highly efficient technology, Indigenous Australians nevertheless had complex social systems and highly developed spiritual traditions reflecting their deep connection with the land and the environment.

Media release from Senator, the Hon Chris Ellison, Minister for Justice and Customs
City v. regional drug use study released
21 May 2001 Minister for Justice and Customs, Senator Chris Ellison, today released a research paper surveying changes in drug use in regional and rural Australia over the past decade in comparison with city drug users. Senator Ellison said the paper, Illicit Drug Use in Regional Australia, 1988-1998 , produced by the Australian Institute of Criminology, found that although drug usage had increased in rural and regional communities over the past decade, the gap between regional and city drug usage levels continued to grow. "On a comparative basis, the study found there were less drug users in regional and rural areas than in cities. The research though does demonstrate that the proportion of people in regional and rural communities who have tried illicit drugs has increased over the past decade." For example between 1998 and 1998 amphetamine usage increased from 3.5% to 8.1%, cocaine increased from 2.7% to 3.7%, ecstasy increased from 1.4% to 4.7%, heroin increased form 1.3% to 2.3% and cannabis from 27.8% to 40.8%.

Government Priority for Skilled Migration to Regions (Cont.)
MPS 51/2002 Recommendations Reference Recommendation Response Recommendation 1 The Committee recommends that DIMA re-examine the identification of ‘designated areas’ in consultation with the States and Territories and establish a realistic set of criteria for areas to be included on the Designated Areas List which would avoid the distortions which currently exist. Agreed. The Commonwealth/State Working Party on Skilled Migration has previously discussed criteria for determining ‘regionality’. No consensus has yet been reached on the matter. At the Working Party meeting in May 2001, members noted the inherent difficulties with defining what constitutes regional Australia for migration purposes and agreed to further consider the definition of regionality through identification of possible alternative indicators. Further consultation with DoTRS and DEWR will also be undertaken on this matter. It should be noted, however, that with proposed reforms to the Regional Established Business in Australia category (REBA), use of the ‘designated area’ concept will be reduced to a single category where the ‘competitive’ aspects of designating one area versus another are not significant.

Migrants Encouraged to Settle Away from Major Cities
MPS 29/96 A package of initiatives to encourage migrants to settle away from major population centres has been released today by the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, Philip Ruddock. "In response to community input, the Government is developing a series of measures which will stimulate the social and economic development of the less populous states and regions of Australia," Mr Ruddock said. The initial measures include:
  • a regional component of the Concessional Family category; a higher profile for the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme; consideration of a scheme to match skills needed in regional areas with skills of applicants under the Independent Category; consideration of a bond to encourage Independent Category migrants to settle in regional areas; and greater use of existing immigration and temporary entry provisions.

HACC Reform
The breadth of services offered by the aged and community care sector is a source of choice for Australians in relation to how they live and the types of support they receive at different times in their lives. Since its inception, the Home and Community Care Program (HACC) has continued to evolve and seek better ways of providing a wide range of services in the Australian community. These widespread reforms have been underpinned by a series of Reviews that were conducted in the mid 1990's. These Reviews examined Program performance in all jurisdictions and made recommendations that would improve the level of flexibility, responsiveness, efficiency and accountability. The major areas of HACC Program reform that have been pursued are many and varied, yet each is interdependent and contributes to the overarching goal of improving services for the frail aged, younger people with disabilities and their carers. These areas include initiatives to reduce duplication in Commonwealth and State/Territory administration, enhanced regional planning and improved service delivery. The new HACC arrangements provide for reduced overlap in roles and responsibilities between the Commonwealth and the States and Territories. The Commonwealth will continue to provide funds to the States/Territories, with States also continuing to provide their own funds to the Program. The Commonwealth and State/Territory governments then jointly allocate funds to HACC regions based on agreed targets for service outputs. The State and Territory governments are solely responsible for allocating funds to services within regions, and for the day to day operation of the Program.

Bounded by the Indian Ocean to the west and Pacific Ocean in the east, Australia, the Island Continent, occupies the cool temperate to tropical climates from 10° south to 43° south latitude and from 112° east to 153° east longitude, to the south of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. From the Coral Sea and South Pacific Ocean to the north, currents sweep south into Tasman Sea, past the island of Tasmania and into the Roaring Forties. In the southwest, the Great Southern Ocean receives the barest hint of the warm currents swept across the Indian Ocean from the equatorial waters of the Timor and Arafura Seas which separates Australia and Indonesia.

ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH
Fatigue-related crashes: An analysis of fatigue-related crashes on Australian roads using an operational definition of fatigue
Executive Summary
This report examines a proposed operational definition of fatigue, and the occurrence and characteristics of fatigue-related road crashes within Australia as identified by the operational definition. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has proposed an operational definition of a fatigue-related road crash that would provide a common, objectively based methodology. This definition should be useful in monitoring fatigue-related crashes and gauging trends over time or between regions. The definition is based on a set of well researched selection criteria and uses crash characteristics routinely collected by different traffic authorities. The operational definition identified a relationship between the time and type of fatigue related crashes. More single vehicle crashes occurred in the early morning (midnight- 6am) than the afternoon (2pm-4pm). However, the incidence of head-on crashes was highest between midday and 6pm and lowest between midnight and 6am, this relationship may be related to traffic densities. That is, higher traffic densities during the day would increase the likelihood of fatigue-related crashes involving multiple vehicles in head-on collisions and, conversely, lower traffic densities during the early morning would increase the likelihood of fatigue-related crashes involving single vehicles.
