We are an independent consortium of consumer, health professional and research organisations collaborating to support consumer health literacy, advance health professional education and improve the quality use of medicines (QUM). We research, design, develop, implement and evaluate national QUM programs.

Our work is focused on improving the quality use of medicines, a core component of Australia’s National Medicines Policy that aims to improve the way medicines are selected and used to achieve the best possible health and economic outcomes. Working together, we co-design educational programs and complementary resources to address medicine issues for millions of Australians and achieve better health outcomes.  

QUM solutions are underpinned by robust clinical governance processes delivering high quality evidence-based resources that are relevant and practical in meeting the needs of health professionals and consumers.
