How can I join the National Diabetes Register?

You are eligible to join the NDR if you started to use insulin to manage your diabetes on or after 1 January 1999.  

There are 3 ways to join the National Diabetes Register:

1. Register with the National Diabetes Services Scheme. The Scheme is a Commonwealth Government program that provides blood and urine testing strips, insulin pump consumables, syringes and needles for special injection systems at subsidised prices to people who register for its benefits. Diabetes Australia has administered the Scheme for the Commonwealth since 1987. 

2. If you are under the age of 15, you can be registered with the Australasian Paediatric Endocrine Group, and give agreement on their registration form to share your information with the National Diabetes Register.

3. Contact the National Diabetes Register Project Officer at the following address:

The Project Officer, National Diabetes Register
National Centre for Monitoring Diabetes
Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
GPO Box 570
Canberra ACT 2601

Please note:

There is no obligation to participate in research projects and NDR registrants can withdraw from any research project or from the NDR at any time, by giving written notice.
