The first national snapshot of children’s health reveals kids in remote, poor and Indigenous communities are more likely to be obese, die and have learning problems. While the report found the overall health of Australia’s 3.7 million children aged up to 12 was pretty good compared to other developed countries, it highlighted several problems faced by kids in the nation’s most disadvantaged areas. Indigenous children were up to three times more likely to die as infants or from injury, be of low birth weight and developmentally vulnerable when they start school compared to non-indigenous children.
