The latest snapshot of the health of Australians shows Aussies are living longer, although half of all Australians live with chronic disease.
But multicultural and indigenous communities are calling for health services to be better tailored to improve the lives of Australians from diverse backgrounds.
The report, entitled, "Australia's Health 2016", shows 85 per cent of Australians rate their health as good, very good, or excellent.
But health outcomes are generally worse for people in remote areas, and especially for Indigenous Australians.
Health care advocates say a one-size-fits-all approach to health care doesn't work.
Kylie Gwynne is from the Poche Centre for Indigenous Health.
She says Indigenous people sometimes don't seek help because they don't find healthcare services welcoming.
