In 2006, Access Economics released a report for Diabetes Australia. That report was quite conservative in its projections of obesity prevalence and estimates of attributable fractions for conditions associated with obesity. This report seeks to utilise new data that have become available subsequently to update the estimates of the prevalence, AFs and cost of obesity for the year 2008. - The impact of the changes to the income thresholds for the Medicare Levy Surcharge
Access Economics, commissioned by iSelect, modelled the impact of the announced changes to the income thresholds for the Medicare Levy surcharge. The model compares expected outcomes under the policy change with alternate outcomes of no policy change - The Economic Impact of Cerebral Palsy in Australia in 2007
The analysis in this report, commissioned by Cerebral Palsy Australia, underscores that lifetime costs are higher for conditions with onset earlier in life. Compared to other health conditions, cerebral palsy is more common in any year than the most common types of cancer, stroke, eating disorders, appendicitis or road traffic accidents; is in the top five most costly conditions on a per capita basis of 15 conditions studied by Access Economics and is a condition with a higher disability burden than being blind, deaf, having severe asthma or diabetes.
