Overview
The National Centre for Monitoring Diabetes sits within the Cardiovascular, Diabetes and Kidney Unit. It was formed as a response to a recommendation by the National Diabetes Strategy and Implementation Plan (1998) to improve information on diabetes.
Objectives
Our aim is to coordinate national efforts to monitor diabetes, its risk factors and complications. Monitoring of diabetes is needed to provide appropriate, timely and valid information to inform policy makers, service providers and the public about the magnitude of the diabetes problem. Information is also necessary in order to develop best-practice guidelines and strategies, evaluate the cost-effectiveness of interventional strategies and generate baselines for monitoring progress. For further information about the national system for monitoring diabetes see our publication: The National System for Monitoring Diabetes in Australia.
National Diabetes Data Working Group
