Dated versions never change. ## Query The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/au-hospitals-myhospitals/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/au-hospitals-myhospitals/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/au-hospitals-myhospitals/rows?type=eq.Hospital&limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/au-hospitals-myhospitals/aggregate?group=sector&metric=count&type=eq.Hospital Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`. - `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. - `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. - `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. - `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you. - `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated. - `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent. - `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

Open https://publicdata.au/d/au-hospitals-myhospitals/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/au-hospitals-myhospitals/v/2026-10-03/data.csv today. The same path serves Excel, JSON, GeoJSON, Parquet, SQLite, DuckDB, GeoPackage, GeoParquet, NDJSON, Arrow. A dated URL never changes, so use it when the file must stay the same. ### Can I open Hospitals, Local Hospital Networks and Primary Health Networks in MyHospitals in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/au-hospitals-myhospitals/v/2026-10-03/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 1,366 rows on a records sheet, the field list on a second sheet and the provenance on a third. The CSV also opens in Excel. https://publicdata.au/d/au-hospitals-myhospitals/v/2026-10-03/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### How often is Hospitals, Local Hospital Networks and Primary Health Networks in MyHospitals updated? AIHW releases it several times a year. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Hospitals, Local Hospital Networks and Primary Health Networks in MyHospitals commercially? Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for Hospitals, Local Hospital Networks and Primary Health Networks in MyHospitals? No. The publisher is Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, and its page is https://www.aihw.gov.au/copyright. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.xlsx with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### How do I get only the rows for one type? Every version has one JSON file per value of type, 5 files in the current version, listed with row counts at https://publicdata.au/d/au-hospitals-myhospitals/v/2026-10-03/by/type/index.json. For example https://publicdata.au/d/au-hospitals-myhospitals/v/2026-10-03/by/type/hospital.json holds the 1,166 rows where type is Hospital. A GeoJSON file sits beside each one. ### What coordinate system does Hospitals, Local Hospital Networks and Primary Health Networks in MyHospitals use? Latitude and longitude in decimal degrees as published. The Institute does not state the datum; WGS84 and GDA2020 differ by under 2 metres. The GeoJSON file uses the same coordinates, which is what GeoJSON expects. ### What is in each row? One reporting unit of MyHospitals, which is a hospital, a Local Hospital Network, a Primary Health Network, a state or the nation. A hospital row has its coordinates, its sector, whether it is open or closed, its state, and the Local Hospital Network and Primary Health Network area the Institute maps it to. Most Local Hospital Network rows carry a point too. State, national and Primary Health Network rows have no coordinates. ### Is every hospital here? The list holds the hospitals the Institute reports on in MyHospitals, public and private, including some that have closed. A small private facility that reports nothing to the Institute may be missing. ### How does this join to the measures? The measure tables in this collection name each reporting unit by the same name, and the code here is the Institute's own identifier for it. The Institute has not endorsed this site. ## What this site did to the data Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.xlsx`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/au-hospitals-myhospitals.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/au-hospitals-myhospitals.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
