Clinical practice guidelines outline the recommended best practice for patient care and should be based on the most current research evidence.
If you are looking for clinical guidelines on a topic you can often find national and international guidelines by doing a simple internet search on your topic and "guidelines". You can include .au to limit your results to Australia and .gov to limit to government sites including official Health sites.
