Data processing limitations
Excluded from The Atlas are all those Victorian respondents who are categorised as “No Usual Address” or “Unincorporated Victoria”.
Data may not equal 100% within particular indicators where we have selectively reported on some, but not all sub categories, or have excluded data categories such as “not applicable” / “not stated”.
Women’s Health Victoria has taken reasonable and due care in the specification of tables to minimise the risk of identifying individuals, and data has been adjusted accordingly (for example: counts of 1, 2, 3, 4 shown as <5).
Data has also been collected using a sex/gender binary (male, female). Other gender identities are not represented.
