Health Adjusted Life Expectancy Estimates for ACT and Australia 2011-2018

Health Adjusted Life Expectancy (HALE) at birth data for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Australia, sourced from AIHW Burden of Disease Studies for 2011, 2015, and 2018. The dataset, published by the ACT Government's Health Protection Service, provides comparative HALE metrics across these years and jurisdictions.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in Health Adjusted Life Expectancy (HALE) at birth for the ACT versus Australia from 2011 to 2018.
• Compare HALE estimates across the three study years (2011, 2015, 2018) to assess changes in population health burden.
• Benchmark the ACT's HALE performance against national Australian figures for the covered time period.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) Burden of Disease Studies.
• Provides temporal coverage across three distinct study years: 2011, 2015, and 2018.
• Enables geographic comparison between a specific territory (ACT) and the national (Australia) level.

Limitations

• Specific data structure details like row count, column names, and sample values are unavailable for assessment.
• The dataset's last metadata update was in 2026, which may indicate a system error or lack of recent substantive updates.
• Limited to two geographic units (ACT and Australia), restricting sub-national or regional analysis.
