Abstract
The Australian Government has established the Australian Centre for Evaluation, with a mandate to conduct rigorous evaluations, including randomised trials. This approach draws heavily on the transformation of medicine. During the 20th century, medicine evolved into a discipline that is largely driven by evidence from clinical trials. Drawing appropriate lessons from health has the potential to substantially improve the equity and effectiveness of policymaking in Australia.
