The Australian e-Health Research Centre (AEHRC), CSIRO's national digital health program and a joint venture with the Queensland Government, developed an Australian COVID-19 dashboard which was made available to state and federal health agencies.

The dashboard aggregated and analysed Australian and worldwide data to identify, analyse and forecast trends in the global outbreak, and to identify COVID-19 case hotspots.

It included visualisations, some of which were informed by statistical and epidemiological models developed in collaboration with CSIRO's Data61.
