Our emphasis
Located at Torrens University Australia since November 2015, our emphasis continues to be on the publication of small area statistics.
- For monitoring inequality in health and wellbeing
- For supporting planning and research to improve population health outcomes
Data reveals what we are doing right and what we could do better, allowing those developing policy to make evidence-based decisions as they seek to improve the health of all Australians.

Our output
PHIDU provides detailed data on the health of Australians and the social determinants of health outcomes at national, jurisdictional, regional and small area levels. The data are presented in a variety of user-friendly formats: interactive maps; interactive graphics; and spreadsheets.
This web-based source of data on health and its determinants is unique in Australia, and has been acknowledged internationally by agencies such as the World Health Organization.
We invite you to explore these data and use them freely in your research, study, planning, teaching, policy-making, communications and conversation.
