The FASD Australian Registry

Australian families with children who have a confirmed FASD diagnosis and are under 15 years old are invited to participate in the FASD Australian Registry (FASDAR).

The FASDAR aims to maintain a central database of FASD cases in Australia in order to develop a greater understanding of FASD, inform new research, and help provide families with information about new services, effective treatments, peer support and resources.
