ACTA negotiates and advocates on behalf of the clinical trials sector with governments, health care policymakers and consumers on issues that impact the conduct of investigator-initiated clinical trials across the Australian health system.
Greater engagement and partnership between policymakers and clinical researchers significantly improves the process of generating high-quality evidence for new and existing clinical therapies at low marginal cost or with cost-savings.
- Working together with government, policymakers and consumers
ACTA is the peak body for clinical trial networks, clinical quality registries and clinical trial coordinating centres in Australia. We represent the investigator-initiated clinical trials sector.
