NAGATSIHID members only access
The National Advisory Group on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Information and Data (NAGATSIHID) was established following a decision taken at the Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council (AHMAC) meeting in October 2000.
The role of NAGATSIHID is:

- to draw together the range of Indigenous health information management activities into a coordinated and strategic process.
The NAGATSIHID strategic plan 2011-2015 sets out the work program for the Committee.

- Australian Bureau of Statistics (1 representative)
