The Australia and New Zealand Heart Transplant Registry (ANZHTR) is a newly established registry that will operate as part of the wider group of organ donation and transplantation registries within the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) registry group. Along with the Australia and New Zealand Lung Transplant Registry (ANZLUNG), these registries serve to fill the void left when the previous Australia and New Zealand Cardiothoracic Organ Transplant Registry ceased operations in 2018. Led by an advisory committee comprising clinical specialists from all heart transplant units across Australia and New Zealand, with collaboration from consumer representatives, this registry aims to become a robust platform for recording and reporting on heart transplantation.
