National Health and Medical Research Council
The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has a portal with links to clinical practice guidelines developed for use in Australian health care settings. It includes guidelines published with approval from the NHMRC, as well as guidelines published by other agencies in Australia. The list can be searched by keywords.
Although the NHMRC portal does not currently list clinical practice guidelines for children’s cancer, new guidelines are added by the NHMRC periodically as they are published.

- National Guideline Clearinghouse (United States), an initiative of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, includes guidelines on nutrition and physical activity for survivors of children’s cancer.
