The conduct of ADCQR is overseen by Professor Sophia Zoungas (at Monash University) in consultation with the ADCQR Scientific Advisory Committee.
The National Association of Diabetes Centres (NADC) coordinates the Australian Diabetes Clinical Quality Registry (ADCQR), a national clinical quality registry. The ADCQR is the successor to the Australian National Diabetes Audit (ANDA) and its longitudinal counterpart (ANDA-L).
The ADCQR is a quality improvement initiative which serves to promote best practice and high-quality diabetes care. In line with the National Strategy for Clinical Quality Registries and Virtual Registries, the ADCQR aims to collect, monitor, and report on clinical quality outcomes to support improvements in clinical care and patient-centred outcomes. This will be achieved through benchmarked feedback on whether care across diabetes centres (and patient outcomes) align with that of their peers, as well as national standards. In addition, the ADCQR aims to provide a longitudinal assessment of the effects of diabetes centres health care practices on patient treatment and outcomes through data linkage.
The ADCQR collects clinical indicators as part of standard care, including diagnoses, clinical and laboratory results, management methods/therapy and diabetes-related complications and comorbidities. Patient reported outcome measures are also collected capturing information on self- management and health service use. For more information about the ADCQR please visit: https://monash.edu/medicine/sphpm/adcqr/home
Diabetes centres are encouraged to be involved. To register an Expression of Interest and to be a part of the ADCQR, please email: adcqr@monash.edu
Any questions from centres should be directed to Professor Sophia Zoungas at email: adcqr@monash.edu

ANDA 2021 Report:
The conduct of ANDA is overseen by Professor Sophia Zoungas (at Monash University/Monash Health) in consultation with the ANDA Scientific Advisory Committee.
The National Association of Diabetes Centres (NADC) coordinates the Australian National Diabetes Audit (ANDA) survey every year. It is a free quality improvement activity for all NADC members and provides the participating services with a comprehensive individualised report on many aspects of their specific service and benchmarks against like-sized organisations.
There are 2 ANDA audits that alternate each year:
- ANDA-AQSMA (Australian Quality Self-Management Audit) is more focused on self-management and diabetes distress and collects data related to diabetes education, self-care practices and quality of life
- ANDA-AQCA (Australian Quality Clinical Audit) focuses on clinical indicators known to impact on the care of the person with diabetes
The ANDA collections are an important quality activity that promotes continuous improvement in the standard of services provided by diabetes centres. It is anticipated that the data collected will provide key performance indicators for diabetes services to benchmark their performance against best practice.
Primary Care organisations are encouraged to be involved. To register an Expression of Interest to be a part of ANDA, please email: anda@nadc.net.au
