Clinical Trials Roadmap

The Clinical Trials Roadmap is an interactive resource developed for our partner organisations to help staff understand, develop, plan, and undertake clinical trials. The roadmap sets out key steps, resources, and contacts, and provides guidance for common clinical trial scenarios.

Clinical Trials Podcast: Clinical Trials in Focus

This podcast, developed by NSW Regional Health Partners, Sydney Health Partners and Maridulu Budyari Gumal (SPHERE), supports researchers and clinicians to prepare for clinical trial audits as the new national framework comes into effect.

Episode 1 explores all things audits: what they are, why they’re important, and how to prepare.

Episode 2 explores monitoring clinical trials for quality and safety to make sure the trial is running in accordance with regulations and the trial protocol. Appendix Monitoring Resources

National Clinical Trials Governance Framework

In March 2023, the National Clinical Trials Governance Framework came into effect.

Developed by the Australian Commission for Quality and Safety in Healthcare, it’s the first step towards a nationally consistent approach to the accreditation of health services conducting clinical trials.

The framework will ensure clinical trials meet required standards, which will have implications for the ongoing accreditation of public health services.

To help sites prepare for audits, the three Translation Centres have also developed an Audit Ready Resource Pack. Click here to access the resource pack.
