The Age on Thursday viewed data from the federal Critical Health Resource Information System, which showed there were currently 181 coronavirus patients in Victorian ICU beds - 67 more patients and almost 63 per cent higher than the 114 publicly reported by the state’s Health Department.
One senior intensive care physician has expressed frustration that Victoria’s daily ICU numbers were continually being misrepresented by the government, describing the state’s intensive care system as “so close to a crisis, it’s not funny”.

The Age reporter should have looked more closely at the figures.  The 64 (not 67) ICU patients are not listed as COVID cases because they are no longer infectious.  That's how COVID cases have always been reported and there is no under-reporting of ICU cases or the fact that the 64 patients are in ICU because they had COVID.  The critical figure is that 98% of Victorian COVID ICU cases are unvaccinated.

But that's missing the point that all jurisdictions carry basically the same information about COVID, the same FAQs, etc.  Go to any State, Territory or Commonwealth COVID website and you'll get the same information.
