Australian Living Evidence Consortium
The Australian Living Evidence Consortium (the Consortium) has welcomed the announcement that the Victorian Government will invest in the ‘Living Evidence’ model to transform the way new research is used to improve outcomes for patients in Victoria and around Australia.
