Interested in data linkage? Wanting to answer questions about the Tasmanian population but lacking the data to do so? The Tasmanian Data Linkage Unit are running a 2-3 hour workshop for research staff and prospective and current PhD students with an interest in data linkage. We will be presenting information on TAS-Connect – the exciting new Tasmanian research ready dataset that aims to make data linkage more accessible to researchers and students. Come along to learn more about the data available in TAS-Connect, how to apply, costs, and the type of projects that can be undertaken. The workshop sessions run from 9am to 11am, but TDLU staff will be available until 12 noon to answer specific questions or discuss project ideas.

• 9:00am – Overview of Data Linkage and introduction of Research Ready Datasets
• 10:00am – TAS-Connect, study design, and data management
• 11:00am – Optional Q&A and brainstorming session
• 12:00pm – Conclusion
