Any breastfeeding (%), infants presenting at ACT MACH immunisation clinics, by age (completed calendar month), 2011–12 to 2016–17. Note: The data for this indicator is obtained only from clients who attend MACH clinics for their immunisations and does not include clients who visit GPs or other health services for immunisations and therefore is only representative of a proportion of ACT infants. Trend data may differ from those previously published due to data revisions.

This dataset presents the footprint of the number and per cent of low birthweight live births, by the mother's usual place of residence. The data spans the year of 2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The data is sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Perinatal Data Collection (NPDC). The NPDC began in 1991 and is a collaborative effort by the AIHW and state and territory health departments. Perinatal data are collected for each birth in each state and territory, usually by midwives and other birth attendants. The data are collated by the relevant state or territory health department and a standard de-identified extract is provided to the AIHW on an annual basis to form the NPDC. The NPDC covers both live births and stillbirths, where gestational age is at least 20 weeks or birth weight is at least 400 grams, except in Victoria and Western Australia, where births are included if gestational age is at least 20 weeks or, if gestation is unknown, birthweight is at least 400 grams. The Mothers and Babies data accompanies the Australia's Mothers and Babies 2016 - In Brief Report. For further information about this dataset, visit the data source: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Australia's Mothers and Babies 2016 Data Tables. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. SA3 is derived from Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) of the ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard Edition 2011. Numbers may not sum to totals due to rounding error. Excludes mothers not usually resident in Australia or whose SA2 of usual residence was 'Not stated'.

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of live births that were of low birthweight. The data spans every two years between 2012-2016 and is aggregated to 2015 Department of Health Primary Health Network (PHN) areas, based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The Child and Maternal Health Indicators have been calculated from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Mortality Database and Register of Births and National Perinatal Data Collection. This measure has been calculated with the numerator as the total number of low birthweight liveborn singleton babies, and the denominator as the total number of live births. For further information about this dataset, visit the data source:Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Child and Maternal Health Data Tables. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data using the Department of Health - PHN Areas. This dataset uses the World Health Organisation (WHO) definition of a low birthweight baby as weighing less than 2,500 grams. Data at the area level exclude births to Australian non-residents and women who could not be allocated because their usual residence was not stated or was not valid. Multiple births and stillbirths have been excluded. Percentage for an area are suppressed for publication and marked as 'NP' if the total number of liveborn singleton babies for the area is less than 100.
