The Australian and New Zealand Fragility Fracture Registry (ANZFFR) is a joint venture between New Zealand and Australia. The structure of the registry in each country will be the same to enable international comparison. However, the New Zealand and Australian registries will remain independent of each other.
The New Zealand arm of the ANZFFR will provide data to drive excellence in the provision and equity of care for fragility fracture patients delivered by Fracture Liaison Services (FLS), through benchmarking against the Clinical Standards for FLS in NZ.
Osteoporosis New Zealand is responsible for the management of the registry in New Zealand. A bi-national Steering Committee will provide governance for the registry and day-to-day operations will be undertaken by an Implementation and Management Committee in New Zealand.
The project is proudly sponsored by the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC).
