In every jurisdiction, BreastScreen Australia is a joint initiative funded by both the State or Territory government and the Australian Government under the Public
Health Outcome Funding Agreements.
The data need to be interpreted with care because of data deficiencies, differences across jurisdictions relating to the use of cash accounting and accrual
methods, the treatment of corporate and central office costs, differences in methods used to collect expenditure figures, and differences in the interpretation of
public health expenditure definitions.
Medicare funding for radiographic breast examinations is excluded because it is not public health expenditure.
Victorian data include depreciation.
Data for the ACT include expenditure on BreastScreen ACT and the Cancer Registry.
Data for the NT for direct expenditure include public health information systems, disease surveillance and epidemiological analysis, public health communication
and advocacy, public health policy, program and legislation development, and public health workforce development.
The Australian total includes Australian Government direct project expenditure, database or registry and other program support, population health non-grant
program costs and running costs.
(h) Based on ABS estimated resident female population aged 40 years or over.
