The birth prevalence of cerebral palsy in the three states with complete case ascertainment (South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia) declined from 2.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9\u20132.4) cases per 1000 live births in 1995\u20131996 to 1.5 (95% CI, 1.3\u20131.7) cases per 1000 live births in 2015\u20132016. The birth prevalence of pre\u2010 or perinatally acquired cerebral palsy declined from 2.0 (95% CI, 1.7\u20132.3) to 1.4 (95% CI, 1.2\u20131.6) cases per 1000 live births; statistically significant declines were noted for all gestational ages except 32\u201336 weeks. The decline in birth prevalence of post\u2010neonatally acquired cerebral palsy, from 0.15 (95% CI, 0.11\u20130.21) to 0.08 (95% CI, 0.05\u20130.12) cases per 1000 live births, was not statistically significant. Overall, 3.4% of children with cerebral palsy (307 children) lived in remote or very remote areas, a larger proportion than for all Australians (2.0%); the proportion of children in these areas who required wheelchairs for mobility was larger (31.3%) than that of children with cerebral palsy in major cities or regional areas (each 26.1%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The birth prevalence of cerebral palsy declined markedly in Australia during 1995\u20132016, reflecting the effects of advances in maternal and perinatal care.
