Participation rates are the number of women screened as a percentage of the eligible female<br />

population, calculated as the average of the estimated resident population (ERP). Rates for<br />

'40 plus years' and '50–69 years' are age standardised to the Australian population at 30 June 2001.<br />

Periods are from 1 January at commencement to 31 December at end of the 24 month period.<br />

Geographical locations are defined using the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (AGSC)<br />

based on the ABS 2001 Census of population and housing.<br />

Allocation of women to regional categories is based on postcode of residence, using postcode–region<br />

concordances based on the ABS 2001 Census of population and housing .<br />

ABS ERP by ASGC remoteness area is based on 2001 Census of population and housing<br />

geographical boundaries for 2004 and 2005, and on 2006 Census of population and housing<br />

geographical boundaries for 2006. The eligible female population for the 2004–2005 period is calculated<br />

as the average ABS ERP. For the 2005–2006 period, it is calculated as the average of the 2005 ABS<br />

ERP and an estimate of 2006 ERP according to 2001 Census geographical boundaries, based on<br />

previous population patterns.<br />

Women who are screened in a jurisdiction not their own, and who reside in an ASGC remoteness area<br />

not represented in the screening jurisdiction, are excluded from data for that jurisdiction, but included in<br />

national data. Therefore, data may underestimate participation rates for some jurisdictions.<br />
