Choosing Wisely Australia is helping healthcare providers and consumers start important conversations about improving the quality of healthcare by eliminating unnecessary and sometimes harmful tests, treatments and procedures.

Australia’s peak colleges, societies and associations have developed lists of recommendations of the tests, treatments and procedures that healthcare providers and consumers should question. Each recommendation is based on the best available evidence.

As each situation is unique, healthcare providers and consumers should use the recommendations to collaboratively formulate their own appropriate healthcare plan together.

Choosing Wisely Australia also offers consumers some valuable resources to help them guide them with their conversations about what is appropriate and necessary.
