Project Details

The Australian Centre for Cannabinoid Clinical and Research Excellence (ACRE) funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has been established to bring together clinicians and scientists from a broad range of backgrounds to provide leadership in the safe rollout of medicinal cannabinoids in the Australian community. ACRE has established several research teams who are involved in gathering evidence to inform best clinical practice and guide Governments around the use of medicinal cannabinoids, across three research clusters (see below).
