Trusted evidence. Informed decisions. Better health
About us
Against a backdrop of global pandemic, the critical need for trusted health evidence has never been clearer. That’s where Cochrane comes in… Cochrane is an independent, not-for-profit research network of over 40,000 people across 130 countries. For over 20 years, we’ve provided the highest quality health evidence for people, governments and organisations around the globe - from the World Health Organization to Wikipedia. Our evidence is recognised as the international gold standard for health information - because (among other things) we don’t accept commercial sponsorship and our scientific methods are second to none. We publish our findings in the form of ‘systematic reviews’. This means that instead of cherry-picking findings from one or two studies, we systematically assess all of the relevant and available studies on a specific health question or topic - with an eye to how each study is conducted and funded. All our reviews are published online in the Cochrane Library. The Australian Government funds a national subscription to the Cochrane Library, and in turn, Australians download more Cochrane reviews each year than any other country globally. From our centre in Melbourne, Cochrane Australia also provides training and support to over 3,000 local Cochrane contributors and shares the latest in health news with the broader Australian community. Given the age of both pandemic and infodemic that we find ourselves living in, we know our contribution to producing the world’s most trusted health evidence has never been more critical.
