Interactive Data Search

To search by country or state/ territory area (termed 'region') (eg All States/ Territories, Australia), Browse Data by clicking on the text next to the folder icons to the bottom left-hand-side of the screen - or use search method below.

To find data by keywords and/or region (eg All States/ Territories, Australia) and/or small area level (eg Statistical Local Area) and/or atlas/ project title, search using the drop-down fields below.

Note: The keyword search works by searching for the title of the atlas or other demographic and public health topics, as listed in the contents under each atlas.  It does not currently include a complete list of the names of individual geographical areas (eg SLAs, LGAs or DGPs).

To locate a specific geographical area, select the 'Region' (eg All States/ Territories) and the 'Small area level' (eg SLA) of interest from the drop-down menu below, and then click 'Search' to see the atlases with your criteria.  Once you are within a particular data spreadsheet (eg 'NSW' data within 'A Social Health Atlas of Australia (Third Edition), 2008 [online]'), you will be able to search for the individual geographical area.
