ICD-11 - A Classification for the Whole Australian Health and Care System.

The ICD-11 has been designed to be a foundational classification for the whole of the health, disability and aged care systems, providing a basis for consistent statistics and data analytics. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) is preparing a business case, planned to be presented to governments in late 2026, to inform a national decision on the scope of ICD-11 implementation in Australia. This will be based on the information that is being gathered about the potential benefits of the use of ICD-11 in the Australian context.
