Organisations we work with
NPS works in collaboration with a number of national and state based community and consumer organisations to develop strategic directions on Quality Use of Medicines (QUM) initiatives across Australia.
Learn about our work with communities
NPS organises programs within our community to provide skills and knowledge for decision making about medicines, raise awareness about the role and limitations of medicines, and increase consumer awareness about the key role they play in talking to health professionals about their medicines.
Read Community Update
Read our regular newsletter (formerly known as Community e-News) that keeps community organisations and consumers updated on what NPS and others are doing to promote QUM in the community.
