Rates of incarceration, substance misuse and psychological distress are rising or stagnating among indigenous Australians, an official report released on Thursday said.
The report by the Productivity Commission, entitled "Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage," highlighted the fact that Aboriginal Australians still suffer from disproportionate detriments at many levels.
According to the report, the incarceration rate among adult indigenous people rose by 77 percent between 2000 and 2015, while that of juvenile detentions decreased, but was still 24 times higher than for non-indigenous Australians.
As of June 2015, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders made up just over a quarter of the total Australian prisoner population of 36,134, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics - a highly disproportionate figure in view of the fact that these indigenous peoples make up less than 3 percent of Australia's population of 24 million.
