Australian Healthcare Index
The Australian Healthcare Index provides a pulse check on healthcare in Australia from patients’ perspectives and experiences. It’s produced by the Australian Patients Association and Healthengine. More than 8,000 adults across Australia participated in the supporting survey and provided personal points of view and experiences across the public and private healthcare ecosystem with primary and preventative care, private health insurance (PHI), emergency departments, elective surgery, prescription medicine, mental health and more.
