We all know that multiples are special but many don’t realise the significant contribution they can make in the worldwide fight against many medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease – and just how easy it is for multiples (and their parents) to be involved and to make a real difference.
What is Twins Research Australia?
Twins Research Australia (formerly the Australian Twin Registry) was established in 1981 to serve as a link between researchers and twins and multiples who are interested in getting involved in research projects. With over 66,000 members, Twins Research Australia has become one of the largest volunteer registries of multiples in the world. Nevertheless, this still only represents about 17% of twins in Australia, therefore we always welcome new members.
Twins Research Australia is open to twins and HOMs of all ages, identical and non-identical, males and females and in any state of health.
Children (including newborn babies) can join but must be registered by their parents.
