The Collaborative
An initiative of the Melbourne Law School, Melbourne Medical School and Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, the Collaborative for Better Health and Regulation was established in 2022 to consider how regulation can support improvements to public health and healthcare.
It is a truism that poor regulation can expose the public to diseases or their risk factors, frustrate effective care, deny health improvement, and risk loss of public confidence.
Through linking patients, clinicians, community groups, legal professionals, policymakers and regulators with University of Melbourne academics, the Collaborative will explore the crucial role of regulation in addressing contemporary issues facing medical practice and research, enabling better care while protecting public trust.
