Raising awareness of the role and value of clinical trials

As one of Australia’s most culturally diverse states, NSW Health has developed a suite of campaign collateral to support clinical trial recruitment of culturally and linguistically diverse communities in NSW.

Organisations that wish to get involved in the promotion of clinical trials in NSW are welcome to utilise the material below to support recruitment of clinical trial participants.

The campaign’s authenticity comes from the real-life case studies of current and previous clinical trial participants.

This work is an extension of the National Health and Medical Research Council’s (NHMRC) campaign to support promotion and recruitment of participants for clinical trials throughout Australia, by raising awareness of their role and value.

The six-month campaign included social media and paid search engine advertising. It focused on emotionally rich, real life stories and featured Jarryd Roughead, Captain of the Hawthorn Football Club as an ambassador. Jarryd received immunotherapy that completed testing in clinical trials. See Australian Clinical Trials for more information.

Innovative participant recruitment technologies

Clinical trial participant recruitment can be a challenging process and impact the success of a trial. Extensive research into improving trial participant recruitment has been undertaken across the sector. One such example includes work done by the Australian Clinical Trial Alliance (ACTA), a national peak body supporting and representing networks of clinician-researchers. In October 2022, ACTA conducted a scoping of novel and innovative recruitment technologies, that can be used to improve recruitment efforts. These technologies can help to reach a wider participant audience and identify eligible participants quickly and more efficiently.

The findings and resources can be found here.
