Find Data for Health Research

Find and share health data for research

Welcome to Health Data Australia

Health Data Australia is a national catalogue of Australian health data for researchers to discover and request access to data for their research.

Health Data Australia launched in July 2023, and we are continuously incorporating new datasets, features, and enhancements, through the People Research Data Commons program, ARDC’s national digital infrastructure to support health research.

On Health Data Australia you can:

  • search for clinical trial data
  • find information about clinical trial data
  • request access to data via a request form.

Health Data Australia is a catalogue of information about clinical trials datasets collected across Australia by universities, medical research institutes, clinical trials networks, and health services. You can also find information to better understand these datasets, such as study protocols and data dictionaries.

The data is held and managed by the organisations responsible for the clinical trials. You can use Health Data Australia to submit a data request to the data owner. Learn how to access the data.

Over the next 5 years, we will expand Health Data Australia to incorporate a wider array of data collections from different health research studies, as well as government and health service data.

We appreciate your feedback as we continue to grow the catalogue. Please contact us.

Share Your Clinical Trial Data

Clinical trialists and data custodians can use Health Data Australia to share clinical trial data according to standards designed by the Australian clinical trials community and fulfil data sharing requirements that come with public funding.
