DVA Statistics


DVA Client Profile by Local Government Area

These summary profiles report the numbers of DVA pensioners and treatment cardholders in each of Australia's 620+ local government areas (LGA), by State or Territory. The report is derived from the geocoding (determining the exact geographical location) of beneficiaries to LGA boundaries.

Notes:
  1. Those individuals who could not be geocoded to a specific LGA within a State or Territory are reported as an unincorporated group e.g. "Unincorporated NSW".
  2. Those who could not be geocoded to a specific State or Territory, or who reside overseas, are not reported.
  3. The report has been modified to reduce the chances for identification of individual clients.

DVA Client Profile by Federal Electorate

These profiles report on the numbers of DVA pensioners and treatment cardholders in each of the Federal electorates by State or Territory. Boundaries used for June 2007 are those current for the 2004 Federal election. From September 2007, the boundaries current for the November 2007 Federal election will be used. Each electorate profile is on a separate page.
