Folks, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare released their report on Public Health Spending today. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare is an excellent source of information and it is worth subscribing to their publication alerts.

You can find the Public Health Spending report at the following link: http://www.aihw.gov.au/publications/hwe/pheia06-07/pheia06-07.pdf Don't be put of by the 2006-07 FY it covers (that is as current as the publicly available data is in this country). What is interesting is that only $1.7B of the estimated $90B+ is spent on Public Health.
