(a) Data for Indigenous Australians sourced from the NATSISS, with non-Indigenous comparisons based on the GSS.

(b) On 19/08/25, the section Police assault records was amended for accuracy. Previously the text stated that there were 2,870 Indigenous female victims of assault in the Northern Territory and 4,711 in New South Wales. The correct figure is 4,711 Indigenous female victims of assault in the Northern Territory and 2,865 in New South Wales. The reference for this data was also changed from (ABS 2019a) to (ABS 2022) to reflect where the data was retrieved from.
