Understanding Research

About Clinical Trials

Every breakthrough in healthcare begins with research. Every participant plays an important role in shaping the future of medicine.

What is a clinical trial?

Research That Helps Advance Healthcare

Clinical research trials are carefully designed research studies that help advance healthcare by evaluating new medicines, medical devices, treatments and models of care.


In Australia, every clinical trial is conducted under strict ethical, scientific and regulatory standards to protect the safety, rights and wellbeing of participants. They provide patients with the opportunity to access innovative therapies whilst advancing research to improve health outcomes for future generations.

How are trials regulated?

Your safety is our
highest priority

Clinical trials conducted in Australia are among the most highly regulated in the world. Every study is carefully designed and conducted in accordance with strict ethical, scientific and regulatory standards to protect the rights, safety and wellbeing of every participant.


Before a clinical trial can begin, it must undergo independent review and receive approval from a Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC), ensuring the research is ethical, scientifically sound and that the potential benefits outweigh any risks.


Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with the requirements of Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and internationally recognised Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. Together, these frameworks ensure every study is delivered with integrity, transparency and the highest standards of participant care.
