In 2020, an estimated 27,428 new strokes will be experienced by Australians, with 445,087 stroke survivors living across the country. Without action, it is estimated these figures will almost double by 2050 – increasing to 50,600 annual strokes, and a total of 819,000 Australians living with the impact of this debilitating disease.
Alarmingly, the Report also provides evidence of increased incidence of stroke among Australians of working age.
The No Postcode Untouched, Stroke in Australia 2020 report maps stroke incidence, prevalence and risk factors by federal electorate division.
This is the third update of the No Postcode Untouched Report commissioned by Stroke Foundation since its original publication in 2014. As well as decreases in mortality, encouragingly, estimated incidents of stroke have declined, due, in part, to efforts to reduce high blood pressure, smoking and high cholesterol. It demonstrates we could meaningfully reduce stroke incidence and its impact on the community.

Please note: All data presented on the No Postcode Untouched is published from the No Postcode Untouched Report, last updated in October 2020. However, this date is currently presented on a map of Federal election boundaries as they were in 2017. Federal election boundaries have changed in line with Australian Electoral Commission redistribution processes since then, so the name of your electorate may not be up to date. Stroke Foundation is currently in the process of updating this map. See the below electorates (select the link for more data) which are not displaying on the No Post Code untouched website.
