Caring for Australian and New Zealanders with Kidney Impairment (CARI) Guidelines is a nephrology guideline organisation across Australia and New Zealand hosted within the Centre for Kidney Research.
Established in 1999, we focus on the clinical management of patients with chronic kidney disease, including patients on dialysis and transplant recipients.
Objectives
We facilitate the development and implementation of trustworthy clinical practice guidelines based on the best available evidence to improve the quality of care and outcomes for patients with kidney disease in Australia and New Zealand.
Impact
- We have developed over 30 guidelines on managing chronic kidney disease.
- We developed the first national First Nations guidelines for chronic kidney disease in partnership with Kidney Health Australia.
- Our guidelines have informed the development of the Better Renal Services for First Nations Peoples initiative, an initiative dedicating $73.2 million for 30 four-chair dialysis units to support First Nations communities.
- Our methods have been applied to Māori guidelines in New Zealand, and indigenous guidelines are identified as a high priority for the Canadian Society of Nephrology.
