Why Australia?

The clinical trial process and governing regulatory frameworks can be challenging to navigate. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are focused on minimising risks - in particular, delays in drug development, to ensure timely market access.

Australia is one of the leading destinations globally for companies looking to outsource their early phase clinical trials. There is a myriad of benefits in outsourcing early phase clinical trials to Australia, including:

Cost
The Australian Federal Government offers substantial R&D tax incentives, including cash rebates.
Speed
The clinical trial process and regulatory pathway in Australia provides companies with a lot of flexibility, without compromising on quality. The Australian Clinical Trials Notification Scheme is global best practice in reducing regulatory requirements and trial lengths 
Quality
Australia is home to some of the most highly regarded research investigators, medical research institutes, universities, and clinical trial networks. Clinical data in Australia is compliant with the highest international standards and is recognised by US FDA/EMEA.  
Recruitment
Australian demographics are diverse, accessible and aligned to major European and US markets. Northern hemisphere sponsors can conduct trials year-round by taking advantage of Australia’s counter flu and allergy seasons
