Victorian Population Health Survey 2017 - VHISS

The Victorian Population Health Survey program was established in 1998 and collects quality information at the State, regional and local government area levels about the health, lifestyle and wellbeing of adult Victorians aged 18 years and over. The survey follows an established method to collect relevant, timely and valid health information which is applied to policy development and strategic planning.

Information is collected via computer assisted telephone interview on overall self-rated health status, level of psychological distress, body mass index (to determine weight status), the presence of chronic diseases, nutrition, physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption. Information is also collected on participation in screening for bowel cancer, breast cancer, high blood pressure, cholesterol and high blood sugar in addition to community participation, levels of social support and connections with others.

Interviews are also conducted in the major non-English languages in Victoria to ensure people of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are included.

Victorian Population Health Survey (VPHS)

The [Victorian Population Health Survey (VPHS)](https://www.health.vic.gov.au/population-health-systems/victorian-population-health-survey) was first undertaken in 2001 and is an ongoing source of high-quality information on the health and wellbeing of Victorian adults. The information collected in the annual survey is used to inform and support planning, implementation and evaluation of adult population health and other health programs in Victoria.

The survey collects information on:  
•    Overall health and chronic conditions  
•    Mental health and wellbeing (e.g. psychological distress, depression, anxiety, life satisfaction)  
•    Lifestyle risk factors like smoking, vaping, alcohol use, and physical activity  
•    Other health risks such as food insecurity, racism and discrimination, and loneliness  
•    Social determinants of health, including income, employment, social inclusion, and trust in others  
•    Protective factors like emotional and social support  
•    Use of healthcare services and trust in Victoria’s health system  

The information is used to:  
•    Support evidence-based policy and planning by the Department of Health  
•    Guide local councils in developing their Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plans  
•    Contribute to the Chief Health Officer’s report, which is published every two years and shared with the public  
•    Identify vulnerable communities and locations to better target health services and resources  
•    Track health trends and detect new or emerging health issues over time  

Since 2008, the VPHS has operated on a three-year cycle. In two out of every three years, the survey is conducted at the state level with a sample of approximately 7,500 adults. Every third year, the survey expands to include data collection at the Local Government Area (LGA) level, with a significantly larger sample size of around 34,000 adults.

Survey data and summary findings from 2018-2023 are published on the [Victorian Agency for Health Information (VAHI) website](https://vahi.vic.gov.au/reports/population-health).

EPA Air Watch All Sites Air Quality Hourly Averages - Yearly

EPA AirWatch data shows air quality information measured by EPA’s air monitoring stations around Victoria. Data at each location is updated each hour. This extract is an annual report of 1-hourly Average air quality measures per paramater across all stations for the year.
Air monitoring information is also available in the Historic air quality data table. 
On occasion, data may not show for a variety of reasons, such as monitoring station maintenance, equipment breakdown or website issues. 
During winter months, EPA switches off equipment that we use to monitor summer ozone in parts of our network (mostly in metropolitan Melbourne). We will switch them back on before the start of next summer.
Please see the 'Data info Panel' Tab for full dataset meta-data.

Vicmap Hydro REST API

Vicmap Hydro represents the natural and man-made water resources for Victoria and consists of point, line and polygon vector features in a seamless, networked and topologically structured dataset series. It comprises a basic framework of linear features supplemented by related point and polygon features to value add data for the water networks across the State.  Attribute tables classify and describe the real-world features using code lists that can be used for search, discovery and analysis.  

The following hydrographic features are contained within Vicmap Hydro:
Watercourse (line)- watercourse, connector, channel, drain
Water Area (polygon)- lake, flat, wetland, pondage, watercourse area
Water Area Boundary (line)- shoreline, junction
Water Point (point)- rapids, spring, waterfall, waterbody point
Water Area Fuzzy (polygon) – bay, beach, bend, entrance, inlet, passage, reach, sea
In inland and coastal areas, point and line features are used to describe various waterline related structures:
Water Structure Line (line)- wharf, marina, offshore platform, breakwater, launching ramp, dam wall, spillway, lock
Water Structure Point (point)- lock, well
Water Structure Area (polygon)- dam batter, spillway
Along our coastline various features exist which either aid or obstruct local navigation:  
Navigation Point (point)- buoy, beacon, rock, wreck
Navigation line (line)- reef ledge
Depiction of coastal environment
Features along our coastal environment are best depicted with Vicmap Index which contains Victoria’s state boarders and coastline.
Interpretation of features such as watercourses and sea depend on the following criteria:
The limit between sea and land ie. coastline is represented by the mean highwater mark (1m below flotsam on the beach) except in areas covered by mangroves where the landward side is adopted. Note: The limit between the shoreline of internal water bodies and land is represented by the full supply level.
The use of a connector feature ceases when a watercourse area runs into the sea delineated by a junction representing coastline.
Coastal intertidal flats comprised of sand or mud, exposed at low tide form polygon areas which can extend seaward more than 100m or inland.
Small inlets with a single line stream flowing into them are usually considered part of the sea.
Islands are represented by polygons coded “Island” when they are fully surrounded by sea.

Vicmap Geomark REST API

The Geomark datasets are spatial reference files that describe the feature, its location and its name. Examples of the types of features included in these datasets are: rivers, water bodies, railway lines, parks, airports, hospitals, education centres, emergency facilities, sport facilities, mountains, transport infrastructure, power facilities and community venues (but not road names). The data contained within the individual Geomark datasets has been sourced from Vicmap Elevation, Vicmap Hydro, Vicmap Features of Interest and Vicmap Transport. The difference between the features in these Vicmap datasets and Geomark is that the Geomark features have been combined to create one piece of geometry based on its name and type.
GEOMARK_POINT : A statewide point dataset containing information for “named” or “could be named” features. Points represent relatively small area features that have been generalised or larger features where the spatial source is a coordinate or an address. Examples of small area point entities include wind turbines, snow poles, and emergency markers.
GEOMARK_LINE : A statewide line dataset containing information for “named” or “could be named” features. Linear features include rivers, power lines, chairlifts and pipelines among others.
GEOMARK_POLYGON : A statewide polygon dataset containing information for “named” or “could be named” features. Polygons represent larger area features that have been captured in more detail. Examples include lakes, sports grounds, gardens, parks and shopping precincts.
 GEOMARK_INDEX_CENTROID : A statewide centroid dataset holding one centroid record for each feature (unique feature id) held within the Geomark Index Extent table. 
GEOMARK_INDEX_EXTENT : A statewide polygon dataset holding one polygon or multi part polygon record for each feature (unique feature id) held within the Geomark Point, Line and Polygon tables. Note: point and line features are represented as polygons.

Ambulance Victoria UCL Response Time Performance 2017-18

Ambulance Victoria has two official response time targets: Respond to Code 1 incidents within 15 minutes for 85% of incidents state-wide, and
Respond to Code 1 incidents within 15 minutes for 90% of incidents in urban centres with populations greater than 7,500. Response times are an important measure of the service we provide, but are only one of a number of measures used to gauge the effective
delivery of an ambulance service. 
Our response times are measured from the receipt of the triple zero (000) call until paramedics arrive on scene. Response times are
influenced by many factors including traffic, distance required to travel, availability of ambulances and demand for our services. 
We designate those patients that require urgent paramedic and hospital care as "Code 1", and these patients receive a "lights and sirens"
response. The tables provide information about our Code 1 response time performance by both Local Government Area (LGA) and Urban Centres and Localities (UCL). Code 2 incidents are acute, but not time critical and do not require a lights and sirens response. AV's average Code 2 response time
performance has also been provided. 
As part of our process of continual improvement, the response time performance shown below has been calculated using data sourced from
the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system used across Victoria.  UCLs : These are geographical areas based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics
Urban Centres and Localities (UCLs) boundaries and residential population.
Ambulance Victoria reports performance for larger UCLs where population
exceeds 7,500 persons.

Ambulance Victoria Response Performance 2011-19

Response time measures the time from a triple zero (000) call being answered and registered by the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA), to the time the first AV resource arrives at the incident scene. %<=15minutes : This is the percentage of Code 1 first responses arriving in 15 minutes or less. This is calculated by dividing the number of Code 1 first responses arriving in 15 minutes or less by the total number of Code 1 first arrivals.
When AV respond to an incident, we sometimes dispatch multiple AV resources to that incident. “First response” refers to the first AV resource to arrive at the incident scene.
From 1 July 2013 all response times are based on data sourced from the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system.
