Funded Activity Summary

Solving the disability data puzzle to ensure progress towards equity. In South Korea, the average age of death for people with disability is 16 years younger than people without disability. In Australia, we do not have the data infrastructure to generate life expectancy statistics for people with disability. This fellowship aims to solve this disability data challenge, identified as a critical problem by the Australian Government. It will develop a validated methodology for producing disability statistics from linked data; generate a whole population disability data resource to build capacity in disability research; and for the first time, produce life expectancy statistics for people with disability - the ultimate policy tool to monitor progress towards equity and improve the lives of disabled Australians.
