Aim: In the absence of published statewide notification data, the aim of this study was to analyse trends in notifiable blood lead levels (hereafter referred to as lead poisoning) in NSW from 1998 to 2008, to help inform lead poisoning notification policy.

Results: There were 6000 lead poisoning notifications from 1998 to 2008, with an average annual notification rate of 11.
