Queensland Injury Surveillance Unit

Since 1988 Queensland Injury Surveillance Unit (QISU) formerly known as Queensland Injury Surveillance Prevention Program (QISPP) continuously collected urban injury data from seven hospitals in Brisbane’s southside as well as periodically collecting rural data. In 1998 QISU expanded and upgraded its surveillance activity to include new sites and convert paper-based collections to electronic data. One hundred percent of data is now collected electronically.

QISU holds data collected across seven Queensland Health Service (HHS) regions:

• Cairns and Hinterland HHS
• Central Queensland HHS
• Queensland Children’s Health
• Darling Downs HHS
• Mackay HHS
• Metro North HHS
• Metro South HHS
• Townsville HHS
• Wide Bay HHS
