Interdisciplinary Maternal Perinatal Australasian Collaborative Trials (IMPACT) Network

The Interdisciplinary Maternal Perinatal Australasian Collaborative Trials (IMPACT) Network was formed in 1994 within the then Australian Perinatal Society and in 1997 became a subcommittee of the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand (PSANZ) dedicated to improvement of maternal and perinatal health by promoting well-designed randomised controlled trials (RCTs), and dissemination and application of their results.

This website has been developed for investigators, health care professionals and consumers to learn more about the conduct of clinical trials, the clinical trials in maternal and perinatal health taking place across Australia and New Zealand, and how the IMPACT Network for Improving Mothers and Babies Health can facilitate the design and set-up, execution and timely completion of these trials.
