Reference period is 24 months. The participation rate is the number of NESB women residents in the<br />
catchment area screened in the reference period, divided by the estimated number of NESB women<br />
resident in the catchment area in that period. The female NESB population estimate is derived by<br />
applying the NESB age distribution from the 2001 Census to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)<br />
female ERP data for the relevant year. Where service boundaries cross State localised areas,<br />
calculation of resident women is made on a proportional basis. If a woman is screened more than once<br />
during the reference period then <strong>only</strong> the first screen is counted. Catchment area: a geographic region<br />
based on service size in relation to the population, accessibility and the location of other services. It is<br />
uniquely defined for each service based on postcode or Statistical Local Area.<br />
NESB is defined as persons who speak a language other than English at home.<br />
Historical rates in this table may differ from those in previous Reports, as historical population data have<br />
been revised using Final Rebased Estimated Resident Population (ERP) data following the 2006<br />
Census of Population and Housing.<br />
Residents of Victorian postcodes allocated to the Albury/Wodonga catchment (NSW jurisdiction) are<br />
included in Victoria's population estimate, accounting for the slight decrease in participation rates<br />
compared to those published by BreastScreen Victoria.<br />
Participation rates for NESB women may be understated due to a change in the BreastScreen<br />
Tasmania client registration form in the 2005–2006 screening period. NESB status from previous<br />
screening episodes is not retained by the database.<br />
