This report describes Phase 1 of the support and evaluation project of the AIHW's National best practice guidelines for collecting Indigenous status in health data sets (the Guidelines). It found that the processes for, and status of, Guidelines implementation varied across data sets and health sectors in scope for this project. The report identifies barriers to and facilitators for implementation across the various health sectors, and recommends how implementation processes could be improved.
