Welcome to the Collaboration
The Australian Living Evidence Collaboration is a world-first initiative that brings together leading experts in evidence synthesis, guideline development and digital technologies to build a next generation system for delivering reliable, accessible, up-to-date evidence in health.
Our vision
Best evidence, supporting best care
A national system that delivers up-to-date, trustworthy ‘living’ syntheses of health research for decision-makers, driving better health care and outcomes.
Living Guidelines
Supporting Australia’s healthcare professionals with continually updated, evidence-based clinical guidelines
Our guidelines use the ‘living evidence’ approach, which combines rigorous, evidence-based methods and rapid updating as new research emerges. All guidelines use the GRADE methods and are designed to meet Australian NHMRC standards.
Relevant new questions to be addressed are continually sought from stakeholders and practitioners. For prioritised questions, the evidence is actively monitored and updated. Evidence surveillance combines horizon scans and targeted searches. Explore the ALEC owned and supported living guidelines below.
