Nearly half of Aussies are chronically sick

Michael McLaren

Michael McLaren is joined by Dr Michael Bonning, President of the AMA NSW & practising GP in Sydney’s Inner West, about a concerning rise in the prevalence of long-term mental health conditions 

Based on responses from about 13,100 households, the National Health Survey by the Australian Bureau of Statistics released last Friday found the share of Australians suffering from a chronic mental or behavioural condition increased from 20.1 per cent in 2017-2018 to 26.1 per cent last year.  

That means almost 7 million Australians suffer from a long-term mental health condition, according to research showing the prevalence of chronic health conditions has reached the highest level since records began.
