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

Stats that matter

We don’t just talk about impact — we measure it. These numbers reflect our experience, our growth, and the trust our sponsors place in us.

Canopy’s Consumer Advisory Panel

At Canopy Clinical, we focus on the voices of those who matter most – our study participants. Without our amazing community of study participants, none of what we have achieved would be possible.

In 2025 we launched our Consumer Advisory Panel, bringing together a diverse group of individuals who have lived experiences as clinical trial participants. The purpose of our Consumer Advisory Panel is to offer participants a seat at the table, where they are given the opportunity to help shape the design of clinical trials. We believe that by listening to and involving participants directly in the decision-making process, we can ensure our clinical trials are participant-centered, diverse, and accessible to all. Our Consumer Advisory Panel meets on a quarterly basis and provides ongoing feedback regarding our recruitment materials, participant information, consenting process, and experience on-site.
