Australian Clinical Trials was established by people who have spent careers working within clinical research as investigators, coordinators, and people who have sat across the table from sponsors, monitors, and auditors.
The idea behind Australian Clinical Trials is straightforward: Australia has an abundance of experienced clinicians, well-resourced practices, and patients who want access to the latest treatments. What it has historically lacked is the coordination infrastructure to bring those ingredients together efficiently and to a standard that meets international sponsor expectations.
We built this network to close that gap. Our founders come from the clinical side of research. We understand what it takes to run a trial properly - not in theory, but from direct experience managing sites, navigating TGA submissions, satisfying HREC requirements, and maintaining the kind of documentation quality that holds up under a sponsor audit.
Our model is built on existing clinical infrastructure: GP clinics and small hospital departments that already serve the communities from which trial participants are recruited. By working within these settings rather than building standalone research facilities, we keep overhead low, broaden our geographic reach, and reduce the burden on participants who would otherwise need to travel to major hospital centres.
Get in touchWe operate under the TGA Clinical Trial Notification (CTN) pathway. All sites are activated only after HREC approval and institutional sign-off. Single Ethical Review under the NHMRC SER framework applies across our multi-site network.
Our team brings together clinical, regulatory, and operational expertise from across the Australian clinical research sector. Every process and document standard we have built is grounded in direct, practical experience.
By anchoring our network in community clinical settings, we reach patient populations that larger hospital-based networks often miss, particularly in suburban and regional areas.
Quality and regulatory compliance are not add-ons. They are built into every step of our site activation and operations model. We will not activate a site that is not ready, regardless of commercial pressure.
Sponsors receive clear, honest feasibility assessments. We do not over-promise enrolment numbers. If a protocol is not a fit for our network, we say so early.
Every decision we make places participant safety and welfare above enrolment targets. Our investigators retain their independent clinical judgement at all times.
