The Commission is currently developing the National Clinical Trials Governance Framework (NCTGF) within the NSQHS Standards (third edition) and is seeking sector-wide input through consultations in October and November 2025.
This webinar is your opportunity to contribute to the conversation. The Commission wants to hear from health service organisations, researchers, clinicians, and other stakeholders to ensure the updated Standards are relevant, evidence-based, responsive to emerging challenges, outcomes-focused, and practical to implement.
