The main object of the project leading to this report was to prepare a submission to the National Centre for Classification in Health (NCCH) for amendments to the fifth edition of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM) scheduled to be released in early 2006. The report relates specifically to Chapter XIX—Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes, and Chapter XX—External causes of morbidity and mortality. The submission was developed in collaboration with other organisations with an interest in injury surveillance.
