List all the places you can think of to search for statistics about the prevalence of health conditions in Australia.
Activity 2
Head to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) site via this link: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/health/mental-health/mental-health/2017-18#methodology

Look through the Excel spreadsheet and work out which tab you could use in order to the data from to create a tab;e similar to the one above from the textbook, but with Australian prevalence rates.
