The Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) is an initiative of the Australian Orthopaedic Association (AOA). The AOANJRR was established in 1999 becoming fully national in mid 2002. The purpose of the AOANJRR is to improve and maintain the quality of care for individuals receiving joint replacement surgery. Information on hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle and spinal disc replacement is collected from all hospitals in Australia undertaking joint replacement surgery.
The Commonwealth of Australia has declared the AOANJRR a Federal Quality Assurance Activity under part VC of the Health Insurance Act, 1973.
The AOANJRR is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care.

AOA is excited to announce that a new suite of digital platforms will launch later this year. The new platforms will deliver a more secure and modern infrastructure, and an intuitive experience for everyone who works with orthopaedic Registry and clinical data.
What is coming:
- a new Registry platform for hospital data submission
- a new Trials and Analytics platform for managing clinical trials
- dedicated portals for patients, surgeons and other stakeholder partners for questionnaire and report access.
No action is required at this stage. More information, including access details and training resources, will be shared with registered users in the coming months.
