Description

The Map-HD Registry is a collection of data about people in Australia who are affected by Huntington’s disease (HD). All family members of people affected by HD are encouraged to register, whether or not they are at risk themselves. 

The Map-HD Registry is needed to:

  • Map where families affected by HD live in Australia, so that care, services, and funding can be directed to the right locations
  • Establish how many people are affected by HD, and in what ways, to support requests to the Commonwealth and local governments for improved funding of care and new treatments; and 
  • Provide essential information needed for future HD treatments to be approved in Australia and listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).
Reporting process

Reported in Annual Report - shared with all HD clinics and HD state associations.
