NSW Health Population Projection Series 1, 2009

NSW Population Projection data for the period 2006-2036 at the Area Health Service and Statistical Local Area level is now available from Statewide Services Development Branch. This data has been prepared in collaboration with the NSW Department of Planning and is titled NSW Health Population Projection Series 1, 2009. This release is mandated for NSW Health planning purposes and will differ to population projections for NSW which will be available from the NSW Department of Planning website in the near future.

The NSW Health Population Projection Series 1, 2009 has applied the current total fertility rate (1.95) to the population projections, whereas the NSW Department of Planning has applied a fertility rate of 1.85. The NSW Health Population Projection Series 1, 2009 has been developed with the approval and assistance of the NSW Department of Planning specifically for health service planning.

All other population projection assumptions around mortality and migration are unchanged and are based on the Estimated Resident Population (ERP) from the Australian Bureau of Statistics as at June 2006.
