Mental Health 2022 (Australian Government Productivity Commission)

In 2022, 17.6% of people with a mental illness had asthma; 9.0% of people without a mental illness had asthma; and 11.5% of all people had asthma in Australia. Therefore, people with a mental illness where nearly twice as likely to have asthma than those without a mental illness. (proportions by states/territories and data for previous years are also available in Table 13A.58)
