Clinical trial recruitment resources

Raising awareness of the role and value of clinical trials

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has developed a campaign to support promotion and recruitment of participants for clinical trials throughout Australia, by raising awareness of their role and value.

A range of collateral is available to support clinical trial recruitment including videos, posters and social media tiles. These items are available for download from the Helping our Health webpage.

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

As one of Australia’s most culturally diverse states, NSW Health has extended the suite of Helping our Health 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 on this page below to support recruitment of clinical trial participants.

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.
