The National Prisoner Health Data Collection (NPHDC) is held by the AIHW. The collection has been held in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015 and 2018. The 2021 collection was delayed due to COVID-19 related restrictions, and will instead be held in 2022. The scope includes various data items concerning prison entrants and prison discharges over a two-week period, clinic attendances, medications administered and some general information about prisons and their operations.
