Australian Mesothelioma Registry

The Australian Mesothelioma Registry is a national database that collects information about individuals diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer caused primarily by asbestos exposure. Its main purpose is to monitor trends, understand risk factors, and support research to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. By gathering accurate data, the registry helps health authorities develop better policies and resources to protect Australians from asbestos-related health issues and ensure affected patients receive appropriate care.
