About
AusTrakka is Australia’s national pathogen genomics surveillance platform. It provides public health labs with a central, secure, and private online location to share, analyze and view aggregated national genomic data from Australia and New Zealand. AusTrakka facilitates consistent and standardised genomic sequence sharing, analysis and reporting across states and territories for:
- Multi-jurisdictional outbreak investigations
- National routine genomic surveillance of priority pathogens
AusTrakka’s nationally consistent approach strengthens outbreak detection and informs public health action across the country.
Enabling National Genomics Data Sharing
Initiated to overcome barriers with data sharing, AusTrakka’s secure platform enables collaborative genomics surveillance across Australian jurisdictions.
All state and territory public health laboratories upload genomic sequences and agreed epidemiological metadata to AusTrakka on a dedicated server for nationally aggregated genomics analysis and visualisation of sequences.
AusTrakka is underpinned by robust governance and policies to ensure secure data sharing within the platform and the retainment of data custodianship for jurisdictions.
