  • Research program: Prevention and early intervention
  • Project status: Current
  • Start date: July 2019
  • Expected end date: June 2025
  • Completion date:
  • Funded by: ARC LP190100968
  • Lead organisation: University of Western Australia

The Linking for Life Project will identify pathways to wellbeing and better social outcomes across the life-course for high-risk/vulnerable individuals and their families to streamline service provision, improve outcomes and identify cost-efficiencies across government agencies. The work will expand cross-sectoral data linkage capability,

enhancing research capacity to generate evidence-based policy to improve integrated service delivery across government. The project will also trial innovative data linkage models including the creation of data repositories to improve efficiency for data provision and access, which will have application nationally and enable more timely access to whole-population linked cross-sector data.
