The statistics relate to services rendered on a `fee-for-service' basis for which Medicare benefits were paid in the periods in question (based on date of processing). Excluded are details of services to public patients in hospital, to Department of Veterans' Affairs patients and some compensation cases.
The statistics in question were based on data captured at the servicing provider postcode level. In compiling statistics for the electoral division of Calwell, since some postcodes overlap Federal electoral division boundaries, statistics by servicing provider postcode were mapped to electorate using data from the Census of Population and Housing showing the proportion of the population of each postcode in each Federal electoral division.
The nominated selected postcodes do not coincide precisely with those postcodes/portions of postcodes which make up the electoral division of Calwell.
