Federal funding secured in December 2016 enabled the continuation and expansion of ATR operations.

Data collection focuses on cases meeting inclusion criteria for specific injury periods, with ongoing efforts to improve record completeness.

Main Results:

The ATR has released four reports to stakeholders, with data collection ongoing for the 2017-2018 financial year.
The number of submitted trauma records has increased from under 7000 annually to over 8000.
Improvements in data completeness have been achieved since the registry's implementation.

Conclusions:

The Australian Trauma Registry (ATR) demonstrates a long-standing commitment to improving trauma care, dating back to 1993.
The ATR is now well-positioned to significantly enhance the care provided to injured patients across Australia.
Continued data collection and reporting are crucial for advancing trauma research and patient outcomes.
