The aim of the current project was to develop a data set that:
- contains data on health service use potentially relevant to bushfire and bushfire smoke impact
- is of interest to policy makers and/or the research community
- is comprehensive in geographical scope and timespan
- is published at an appropriate level in terms of time and geography
- meets current privacy, confidentiality and data governance frameworks to allow publication.
The data set was developed in consultation with a Bushfire and Health Data Expert Advisory Group as well as Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) subject matter experts and internal and external data custodians. These technical notes detail information on subjects such as data specifications and data sources.
