OSR summary

Summary of Online Services Report (OSR) data collection.

Note: This information relates to V16.1 of the Specifications for National Key Performance Indicators and Online Services Reporting (Solving Health, Specifications for National Key Performance Indicators and Online Services Reporting V16.1. Sydney: Solving Health, March 2024). For more information, see https://www.solvinghealth.au/projects.

The OSR collects national data about organisations which receive funding from the Indigenous Australians’ Health Programme (IAHP) to deliver health services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. These services include primary health care, maternal and child health care.

The OSR dataset focuses on the characteristics of these services, along with the activities and services they provide. It provides a basic measure of activity, volume and coverage of services. It does not collect information on Indigenous health outcomes, which is collected in the National Key Performance Indicators (nKPIs). For more information, see https://www.health.gov.au/topics/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-health/reporting/osr.
