Figure 3: Notified cases and rate of tuberculosis, Australia, 2005 to 2014, by population subgroup
This figure shows notified cases of tuberculosis (TB) in Australia reported annually for the period 2005 to 2014, presented by the population subgroups of Australian-born Indigenous, Australian-born non-Indigenous and overseas-born. This graph shows that the rate of TB in Australian-born non-Indigenous people has remained relatively stable since 2005, while the rate in Australian-born Indigenous peoples has ranged from 3.1 to 6.3 cases per 100,000 population over this period. The rate of TB in overseas-born people in 2014 remains higher than the other population subgroups at 19.1 per 100,000 in 2014.
