We know the idea of a clinical trial can feel daunting. Here’s exactly how the process works, step by step.
Fill in the short form or call us. There’s no obligation. We just want to understand which study you’re interested in and capture some basic details.
One of our coordinators will contact you to ask a few eligibility questions over the phone. This usually takes less than 10 minutes.
If you appear to be a suitable candidate, we’ll invite you in for a formal screening visit. This may include a brief review of your medical history, simple tests, and a full explanation of the study.
Before anything begins, you’ll sit down with our investigator to go through the study in full detail. You can ask every question you have and have all your questions answered. Participation is completely voluntary.
You’ll follow a scheduled visit plan with our team by your side every step of the way. We’ll manage your timeline, keep you informed, and support you throughout.
Once your participation concludes, our team will guide you through the follow-up phase and keep you in the loop on any outcomes.
Got questions? We’ve answered the most common ones below. If you need more info, just enquire and we’ll be happy to help.
Yes. With your consent, we keep your GP updated throughout the study.
No. All study-related visits, assessments, and procedures are provided at no cost to participants.
Compensation varies by study and reflects the time and travel involved. We’re happy to discuss this openly when you contact us and will always be transparent about what you can expect.
Eligibility criteria are set by the study sponsor. If you don’t qualify for one study, we may be able to match you to a future trial. We keep a register of interested participants for upcoming studies.
Every study we run has been reviewed by an independent ethics committee and approved under Australian regulatory standards. Your safety is always our first obligation.
Participation is always voluntary. You can withdraw at any time, for any reason, with no impact on your regular medical care.
