Development of a state wide centralised service for the management of women with Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) in Queensland began in 2009. This presentation highlights the steps taken to establish a registry including a review of the historical registry, results from a clinician survey, development of workshops and committees and development of a clinical database. The Queensland Trophoblast Centre (QTC) was established in 2012 and has been running effectively since then. A discussion of the obstacles in provision of this service will be presented as well as our results and achievements to date.
