The National Public Health Information Working Group (NPHIWG) is a sub-committee of the National Health Information Group (NHIG) and supports the work of the National Public Health Partnership (NPHP). The National Public Health Information Working Group contributes to the direction, development and review of national public health information. It does this through provision of advice on public health information issues and implementation of the National Public Health Information Plan
The committee includes representatives with public health expertise from:
- Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing
- State and Territory Health Departments
- Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
- Australian Bureau of Statistics
The primary role of the National Public Health Information Working Group is to develop and implement the National Public Health Information Plan. This Plan, which is under development, aims to build the information infrastructure and evidence base for public health action in Australia. The Plan is based on projects identified by the NPHIWG members and those NPHP groups who have a role in public health information collection. The projects aim to improve the quality, coverage and use of public health information across Australia.
