The Australian Collaboration for Coordinated Enhanced Sentinel Surveillance (ACCESS) of Sexually Transmissible Infections and Blood-borne Viruses database collects deidentified data through a national sexual health surveillance network. The ACCESS database reports on STI and BBV testing and outcomes in priority populations to state and national governments, and in the Kirby Institute’s Annual Surveillance Reports and has become the backbone of enhanced national surveillance in priority populations and is essential to evaluating the National Strategies.
