Better Health

Best Evidence
WHAT
The ACTA mission is to promote effective and cost-effective healthcare in Australia through investigator-initiated clinical trials and clinical quality registries that generate evidence to support decisions made by health practitioners, policy-makers and consumers.
WHY
ACTA was formed as a single, coordinated mechanism to connect clinical researchers with governments, policy makers and consumers on issues that impact the conduct of investigator-initiated clinical trials across the Australian healthcare system.
HOW
Our activities represent the priorities required to develop, implement and support a national framework to expand the capacity, capability, efficiency and effectiveness of clinical trials networks and clinical quality registries.
