Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health
The Health Data Portal, hosted by the Department’s Enterprise Data Warehouse, has been extended to take on an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander specific reporting role. The Health Data Portal provides a safe and secure tool for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Services to submit nKPIs, OSR and HCP data.
The Health Data Portal is compliant with all the relevant Australian Government security standards.
Navigate to the Health Data Portal.
Health Services funded under the Indigenous Australians’ Health Programme (IAHP) will be required to provide reporting data via the Portal:
From 1 July 2019 the reporting period for nKPI, OSR and HCP number data collections will aligned and open for a six-week period commencing 1 July 2019 and ending on 15 August 2019. The Portal has been updated to reflect the new reporting dates.

A series of co-design workshops will be conducted around Australia during September and October 2019. Details of the co-design workshops, including dates and locations, can be found on the Health Data Portal Co-design Workshops: September – October 2019 page.
There are a few things health services need to do to access the Portal.
Firstly you will require an AUSkey to access the Portal. An AUSkey is a secure login key attached to one person and one organisation. When you login to the Portal it will automatically search and find the AUSkey software you previously downloaded. The AUSkey tells the Portal who you are and what organisation you are working for. Once this authentication is complete you will access the Portal. A guide on how to register for the Portal is available to support you.
Some of you may be very familiar with using an AUSkey however others may have never used them. Refer to the Australia Business Register web site for more information about AUSkey including how to obtain one.
Newsletters, AUSKey and Health Data Portal registration help sheet, visual diagram out lining the roles and a health data portal fact sheet are available on the Heath Data Portal – Newsletters and Resources page.
