QuestionView source ↗
*The number of separations for all in-hospital or clinic dialysis for public patients. Excludes home dialysis services. Caution should be used when interpreting these figures for region of residence as it is common for patients, particularly those from rural areas, to relocate to the region that supplies their renal dialysis service. Demand is therefore skewed towards areas with existing services. As dialysis services are expanded in rural areas and care becomes available closer to home, fewer patients will need to relocate and projections should increasingly reflect a truer demand distribution based on region of residence.
