Author Description

There is substantial demand for information about the nature and drivers of health expenditure. In this context, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has prepared new estimates of expenditure on admitted patient care in Australia's hospitals, providing details about expenditure for different demographic groups in the population, and expenditure related to different disease groups. The information complements the overall health expenditure information in the AIHW's regular Health expenditure Australia reports.
