To examine population changes in 5-year survival for people in South Australia diagnosed with acute leukaemia during 1980-2016, by socio-demographic characteristics. ⋯ Five-year survival for people with acute leukaemia in South Australia continuously improved during 1980-2016, and socio-economic status and remoteness did not influence survival. It improved markedly for younger patients (under 50 years of age). However, survival is still relatively poor, especially for people over 50 years with AML.
