PROMs lists
The lists of validated PROMs have been developed to support the identification of validated measures and the use of PROMs in Australia.
Selecting a PROM
There are hundreds of PROMs available and the development of new PROMs is increasing. It is important to consider which PROM is right for your needs. Information on selecting PROMs outlines key considerations to support this decision making.
Generic PROMs list
The list of generic PROMs includes measures that are suitable for use across healthcare settings and conditions that were referred to in literature published from 1989 to 2024.
Conditions-specific PROMs list
The list of condition-specific PROMs includes measures for a selection of high-burden conditions. These conditions were referred to in literature published between 1989 to 2024. The Commission will add to this list over time. The list currently includes PROMs for:
