In Australia, an estimated 30% of the population lives outside major cities such as regional centres, rural and remote areas (AIFS, 2011). According to AIHW (2017), Australians living in rural or remote areas tend to have shorter lives, higher level of disease or injury and poorer access to health services compared to people living in metropolitan area. AIHW (2017) recognised some issues that have implications on healthcare in the areas such as interactions between remoteness, low socioeconomic position and information gap in the coverage of health data in remote areas and in information available at the local area level. The issue of information gap becomes the focus to help tackle the problem of health inequalities and inequities.
