Our History

Founded in 2020 on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Canopy Clinical Research is a dedicated multi-site private clinical trials network. Our network comprises four clinical trial sites, located in areas of high unmet need and substantial population growth; Altona in Victoria, and Brookvale, Wollongong, and Sutherland in New South Wales. 

We conduct Phase I (non-confinement) through to Phase IV clinical trials, spanning a broad range of therapeutic and interventional areas, including vaccines, metabolic, cardiovascular, sexual health, dermatology, and mental health research. 

We excel in healthy population studies with a large volunteer recruitment pool but also have a strong track record delivering results for more specialist indications requiring patients.

Our Mission

At Canopy Clinical, we don’t just conduct trials – we create possibilities. Through partnership and collaboration, we empower better health outcomes and bridge access gaps in clinical research. Our quality framework is focused on the issues that matter, driving agile and creative solutions.

Our passion drives us to trailblaze new treatment approaches, embrace emerging technologies, and foster meaningful collaborations to advance scientific discovery.

Our Vision

We envision a world where the canopy of health embraces us all, ensuring every person has access to the care they deserve.
