The National (insulin-treated) Diabetes Register (NDR) aims to record all new cases of people who began to use insulin to treat their diabetes since 1 January 1999. The NDR includes people with type 1, type 2, gestational and other forms of diabetes. Up until March 2021, data for the NDR were sourced from the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) and the Australasian Paediatric Endocrine Groups (APEG) state and territory registers.

The collection of APEG data ceased after the contract between APEG and AIHW ended July 1, 2022.
The NDR is now derived using only the NDSS.

For more information about the NDR and how it is derived, see the Data Quality Statement.
