An error has been identified in Health expenditure in Australia 2017–18 and the accompanying media release.
The report correctly identified a decrease in private health insurance membership with hospital treatment coverage of approximately 33,000 between 2016-17 and 2017-18—the first decrease seen over the decade.
However, the report incorrectly stated that there had been an almost 2 million decrease in private health insurance membership with hospital treatment coverage over the decade 2007-08 to 2017-18. This should have been an almost 2 million increase.
