The Australian and New Zealand Movement Disorder Clinical Research Network (ANZ-MD-CRN) was established in 2001 as part of the Movement Disorder Society of Australia and New Zealand (MDSANZ).
It is comprised of neurologists and neuroscientists from more than 20 hospitals or research institutes in Australia and New Zealand that have a research interest in movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and dystonia. The majority of members are clinicians who have experience in clinical and therapeutic trials.

The current chair of the ANZ-MD-CRN subcommittee (2018) is Prof. Carolyn Sue.
