Policy makers, professionals and researchers are demonstrating increasing interest in linking administrative data from multiple sources to enhance longitudinal survey. While data linkage provides great opportunities, it is not a trivial exercise that comes with a number of challenges. This talk will provide an overview of benefits and issues associated with data linkage for longitudinal surveys, emphasising the ones specific to Australian context. Focusing on the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children, specific data linkages of education and health data will be discussed in details.
