Australia's babies: their health and wellbeing

AIHW bulletin no. 21

The AIHW has been reporting on the health and wellbeing of Australia's children since 1998. This bulletin complements the Institute's four comprehensive national reports in this area that cover childhood health conditions and injuries, major risk factors and determinants of health, child development and wellbeing. This bulletin on the health and wellbeing of Australia's babies is the first in a series to be published as part of a key national indicators project being undertaken by AIHW. It focuses on four selected topics - birthweight, gestational age, birth defects and infant mortality - and presents data for the five-year period from 1997 to 2001.

Recommendations for development of a new Australian Birth Anomalies System: a review of the National Congenital Malformations and Birth Defects Data Collection

Birth anomalies series no. 1

Birth anomalies remain a significant public health problem in Australia. Despite this, we do not have quality national data on birth anomalies in Australia. In response to the AIHW's continuing commitment to birth anomalies as a core data collection, a review was conducted over the last year which was aimed at assessing the utility and scope of the National Congenital Malformations and Birth Defects Data Collection and making recommendations for its future. This report sets initial parameters for a new Australian Birth Anomalies System.
