Dear Florencia Melgar,

The Department of Health does not hold the information you are requesting .

I have been advised by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) that while it is not likely a published document of your exact request is available there is a publically available self-help tool on the ABS website called TableBuilder.

The TableBuilder Basic is a free product that provides access to most Census data and can be found following the below link:

http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/censush...

If you cannot access the information you are seeking via TableBuilder and/or would like to contact the ABS about accessing the information you seek, you can do so by phone on 1300 135 070 or by completing the online inquiry form found on their website:

http://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/D331011...

I hope that this information has been of assistance.

Kind regards
FOI Officer
