Abstract:

• With new funding for the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) to provide an evidence base for policy and practice reform, it is timely to revisit Australia's recent experiences with health services research and policy development. • We provide a broad review of the contribution of Australian health services research to the development of health policy over the past 20 years. • We conclude that three preconditions are necessary to influence policy: political will; sustained funding to encourage methodological rigour and build decisionmakers' confidence; and the development of sufficient capacity and skills.
