 * Totals for States will differ from those published in other PHIAC publications where, up to 2006, insurers have reported membership only in States where they have more than 500 SEUs and incorporated the figures for States with less than 500 SEUs in other States. In other publications ACT is included with NSW. The figures published in this report are the actual insured persons in each State and Territory.
