The Australian Bureau of Health Information was established in September 2009 as a major initiative of the Australian government's 'Caring Together: The Health Action Plan for NSW' (http://healthactionplan.nsw.gov.au) to provide an independent and transparent system of reporting the quality, performance and effectiveness of NSW health services.

Independent reports will be available to the community and government, and the bureau will also provide doctors and nurses with information to enable them to compare the performance of their services in providing quality care to their patients.
