Australian Clinical Practice Guidelines Portal

A new national Clinical Practice Guidelines Portal has been launched by the NHMRC's National Institute of Clinical Studies. It will provide links to current Australian guidelines developed by governments, professional colleges, specialty societies and non-government agencies.
It aims to be a ‘one stop shop’ for clinicians, researchers, policy makers and consumers to access guidelines developed during the preceding five years for use in the Australian health care system. "Each guideline on this portal has been assessed according to rigorous selection criteria" and you can search by condition, date, funder, life stage, or across all guidelines.

There is also a national clinical practice Guidelines in Development Register which contains information about clinical practice guidelines that are planned or currently being developed in Australia. "It has been designed to help Australian guideline developers promote their work and get in touch with other guideline developers; it will provide information to help policy-makers and others better co-ordinate guideline development activities in Australia."
