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 designed to facilitate its sharing, access, and reuse for health research. Health and medical researchers can use the platform to discover and request access to data for their own research or to register descriptions of their data to enhance discoverability by others.
On Health Data Australia, researchers can:
- search for data that can be used for health and medical research
- request access to data
- register their datasets for discovery
Health Data Australia was developed by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) in partnership with the health research sector. The ARDC is supported by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).

Clinical trials
Health Data Australia contains contributions from 72 Australian health research organisations organised into 9 Nodes. The listed datasets have been collected by universities, medical research institutes, clinical trials networks, and health services. They are accompanied by supporting documentation, such as study protocols and data dictionaries, to help other users better understand the data and how it can be used. The metadata in HDA originates from two sources: the ANZCTR and ClinicalTrials.gov trial registries, specifically for trials involving Australian sites.
