This report details the program, proceedings and outcomes of the First 1000 Days Australia Researchers’ Forum, the second of four symposiums to be held at, and led by, the University of Melbourne. The aim of the Forum, held on 26 August 2015, was to enable researchers and implementers of projects operating across different national sites to develop both an understanding of what data is currently being collected and why it is being collected. Further to this, the Forum provided the opportunity to discuss current datasets and birth cohort studies and the development of core data that can be used in comparisons across jurisdictions and regions in Australia.
