Streamlined approvals means faster access to medicines for patients
15 September 2016 - Medicines Australia welcomes the commitment of the Australian Government to improve the way medicines are assessed for use in Australia.
The changes should provide patients with more rapid and early access to life-saving, innovative medicines.
The reforms are a direct response to the Medicines and Medical Devices Review which was tasked with improving and finding alternative ways to rapidly assess the safety and effectiveness of new medicines so that they can be utilised by the Australian healthcare system sooner.
