The Registry contains information on every heart, heart/lung and lung transplant performed in all six Australia and New Zealand Cardiothoracic Transplant centers since they commenced being performed on a regular basis in 1984.

An annual report is produced by June each year providing statistical information on numbers of transplants performed, waiting list activity and survival outcomes. The latest report is available for download from this page in both pdf and powerpoint formats.

The Registry also contributes its Australian de-identified information to the ISHLT (International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation) on an annual basis.

In February 2009, Cardiothoracic Surgeon Dr Phillip Spratt, John Della Bosca, New South Wales Minister for Health and heart transplant recipient Fiona Coote celebrated 25 years of heart lung transplantation in Australia and New Zealand.  Fiona had her initial heart transplant in 1984 and her second in 1986.
