The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) have sought feedback on draft principles for accessing and using publicly funded data for health research (the draft Guide). The draft Guide is intended to provide a framework of principles for researchers and data custodians to consider when requests or applications are made for access to existing health and health-related datasets for research purposes. By improving access to data for research purposes, the draft Guide has the ultimate aim of improving the quality of public health and health services research in Australia.
