| The NSW Aboriginal Health Information Management Group (AHIMG) was established through the NSW Aboriginal Health Partnership. The AHIMG has three primary aims:
‘To ensure stakeholders work collaboratively to improve the quality and reliability of health and health-related information about Aboriginal peoples in NSW;
To advocate improved access to, and use of, information that can support the planning and delivery of health services; and,
To build confidence in the use of information to improve health by ensuring appropriate consideration is given to cultural and ethical factors associated with the collection, privacy and use of information about Aboriginal peoples.’
(Guidelines, 2)
The AHIMG is responsible for overseeing the implementation, monitoring and revision of the NSW Aboriginal Health Information Guidelines and related Subsidiary Agreements.
