Welcome to the Centre for Health Record Linkage
The Centre for Health Record Linkage (CheReL) was established in 2006 to create and maintain a record linkage system for health and human services in NSW and the ACT.
The record linkage system has strict privacy-preserving protocols and provides a mechanism for health data to be used for projects that are for the benefit of the public. The CHeReL uses probabilistic record linkage techniques to enable health and health services research, planning and evaluation for populations in NSW and the ACT. Services can be accessed for ethically approved projects that are consistent with the aims of the CHeReL.
The Centre for Health Record Linkage (CHeReL) is hosted at the Cancer Institute NSW and is a collaboration of:
ACT HealthCancer Institute NSW
NSW Clinical Excellence Commission
NSW Department of Health
The Sax Institute
The University of Newcastle
The University of New South Wales
The University of Sydney
