The data we link is sourced from multiple administrative and clinical datasets from various sectors including health, education, and welfare.
Linked data is de-identified and allows researchers to identify patterns across the Tasmanian population while maintaining the confidentiality of individuals’ data.
The TDLU undertakes both state and national data linkage projects.
Our datasets enable
- research
- planning and evaluation of health, education, and related services
- policy development
- strategic planning
We can help with
- Designing a study or project to utilise linked data
- Providing advice on state and national data linkage projects and data accessibility
- Geocoding data and understanding geographic classifications
- Applying for data linkage within Tasmania and within other jurisdictions
- Information sessions and workshops on data linkage
