23 November 2016 - The survey was to help the TGA identify the audience for AusPARs, understand what AusPARs were being used for and determine how useful their content was to external stakeholders.

There were a total of 105 respondents to the survey.

The majority of AusPAR readers were from the Australian pharmaceutical industry. A much smaller number were health care professionals, government employees or medicines regulators.

The vast majority of survey respondents said that AusPAR documents adequately served their purpose of providing transparency into the TGA's decision making process for prescription medicines, were useful to the person's needs, and that they would continue to access again AusPARs in the future. A smaller number of respondents accessed AusPAR pages only when a new AusPAR was published, presumably when they received an update via the AusPAR email notification list.
