The poor health status of Australia's indigenous population is reflected in relatively high mortality rates from almost all causes, including preventable causes such as cervical cancer, where the rate is six to eight times that of non-Aboriginal women. However, there is little information on the geographical distribution of risk, an important issue for service deployment. This study examined the risk of death from cervical cancer in relation to Indigenous status, age and rurality.
