'Australia's health 2012' is the thirteenth biennial health report of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. It is the most comprehensive and authoritative source of national information on health in Australia. It provides answers to questions such as: - How healthy are Australians? and  what major milestones affect health over the life course?

How can we protect and promote good health? - What are the major causes of illness? - How do we treat people who are sick? - Where do our health dollars come fromand where do they go? - Who works in health? - What is being done to find out more about our health?
