• To assess the prevalence of active trachoma in specific age groups within remote Australian communities.
• Comparative analysis of trachoma prevalence in children aged 1-4 and 5-9 years.
• Focus on remote Australian communities.
• Examination of public health indicators related to trachoma elimination.
• No evidence of higher trachoma prevalence in children aged 1-4 years.
• Support for using prevalence data in children aged 5-9 years as a key elimination indicator.
