Data and Evidence
An independent voice
Trusted data and evidence
We manage four national health information systems, conduct evidence synthesis to support health policy formulation and provide information on drugs and alcohol.
We work with partners to promote and enable the use of data to shape health policy, enhance healthcare delivery and drive broader research and innovation initiatives.
Our health information systems are a valuable national resource providing quality data to policy-makers and service providers in the areas of disability, alcohol and drug use, and mental health.
The HRB Evidence Centre supports the generation of independent, credible evidence to inform decisions of policymakers, practitioners and the public.
