In 1996 data from a number of sources were combined to detect trends in influenza activity in the Australian community. Epidemics of influenza A (H1N1) and influenza B were recorded by the laboratory reporting scheme. Influenza activity was reflected in the sentinel general practitioner recording schemes. However schools absenteeism, deaths surveillance and hospital admissions data had only limited coverage and did not reflect any national trend in influenza activity.
