Abnormal Development - Australian Statistics
Introduction
Data groupings and classification as Major or Minor Abnormalities are based on that used by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare National Perinatal Statistics Unit, UNSW and published in Congenital Malformations Australia 1981-92.
For individual systems, data shown as a % of all Major Abnormalities based upon published statistics using the same groupings as CMA 81-92. Please note that some congenital diseases involve more than one system.

The classification groups for Major and Minor Abnormalities are also shown.

Australian Birth Anomalies System
- "The national collation and reporting of birth anomalies data has been suspended in recent years due to concerns about data quality and comparability."
- Variability among states and territories in scope of birth anomalies data collections: sources of birth anomalies notifications and definitions and classifications used; method of data collection and available resources.
- Variability among the states and territories in the timing and method of the provision of birth anomalies data to the AIHW National Perinatal Statistics Unit (NPSU) for national collation and reporting.
- New Australian Birth Anomalies System should be data for birth anomalies detected up to 1 year of age
- including data on terminations of pregnancies with birth anomalies and regardless of gestational age (i.e. including less than 20 weeks gestation)
- System will initially be based on data from the states able to detect birth anomalies at least up to 1 year of age (NSW, VIC, WA and SA), further extending the period of detection in the future
The Australian Congenital Anomalies Monitoring System (ACAMS) supersedes the National Congenital Malformations and Birth Defects Data Collection (NCM&BD).
