The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) is a major national agency established under the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Act 1987 as a corporate Commonwealth entity to provide reliable, regular and relevant information and statistics on Australia’s health and welfare.

We are committed to providing high quality, national data and analysis across the health, housing and community services sectors. This covers a wide range of areas, from health and welfare expenditure, hospitals, disease and injury, disability and mental health, to ageing, homelessness, and Indigenous health and welfare.

We value a positive, friendly, cooperative and productive workplace where people are treated with respect and courtesy, and diverse and unique attributes are recognised and valued. We are committed to providing flexibility in working arrangements to recognise the importance of balancing work commitments with family, caring and other personal commitments of employees outside of work.

The AIHW is committed to creating genuine opportunities for all, and encourages applications from Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people(s), people with a disability and people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Additional information: Interns are paid at the APS2 classification and engaged through Chandler Macleod as a contractor.

Summary:

The NDSHS is a self-complete survey, and the paper survey relies on respondents to follow instructions and skip patterns. Procedures are required to treat responses that are either unclear or inconsistent with other responses in the questionnaire. The intern will write code that applies edits to the survey data set.

Expected deliverables/outcomes for the AIHW as a result of the intern’s work: A set of data set edits written in either SAS or SPSS code.
