In Australia, workers\u2019 compensation schemes operate independently in different jurisdictions, making comparisons of health service use challenging.

The services data set contains a total of 4.2 million cleaned and harmonised services including doctors (29.9%), physical therapists (56.3%), psychological therapists (2.8%), diagnostic procedures (5.5%) and examinations and assessments (5.6%). The medicines data set contains 524,380 medicine dispenses, with 208,504 (39.8%) dispenses for opioid analgesics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The development of this database presents potential opportunities to gain a greater understanding of health service use in the Australian workers\u2019 compensation sector, to measure the impact of policy change on health services and to provide a method for further data harmonisation.
