The Australasian Allied Health Benchmarking Consortium (AAHBC) is a network of Allied Health representatives from tertiary, teaching hospitals across Australia and New Zealand.  The main purpose of AAHBC is to collaboratively innovate allied health activity and workforce initiatives to ensure evidence based and quality outcomes for consumers, staff and our organisations.  We achieve this by developing and implementing a standardised approach to benchmarking of allied health activity and evaluating processes and outcomes.

The group was established in 1997 to ensure consistency of allied health data collection for benchmarking across a network of collaborative teaching hospitals in Australia.  Originally named NAHBC (National Allied Health Benchmarking Consortium), the group has now expanded to include tertiary hospitals from New Zealand.

Members provide input into health-related issues of broad, national significance as appropriate.  AAHBC uses available data sources, including The Health Roundtable reports where available.
