The Australia New Zealand Trauma Registry (ANZTR) is a key component of the Australian Trauma Quality Improvement Program (AusTQIP).

The ANZTR focusses on monitoring trauma care, from the time of incident to discharge from definitive care, in order to reflect and act upon emerging trends and demands on the trauma system across Australia and New Zealand. Collecting and analysing information about trauma patients, their management and their injury outcomes informs future improvements to health service provision and development, with the long term societal aim of reducing preventable deaths and permanent disability as a result of injuries.

The ANZTR collects 90 data-points in accordance with the Bi-national Trauma Minimum Dataset for Australia and New Zealand, for severely injured patients (ISS > 12) or death after injury. The major trauma centres submit data to the ANZTR directly or through state-based registries.

Trauma data collected by the ANZTR is accessible to all ANZTR contributors, government, clinical researchers and the public. Details about data access can be found here.
