Teletrials are now being delivered across an expanding range of Victorian health services. This growing reach improves equity of access by enabling more people - including First Nations peoples and communities - to take part in clinical trials closer to where they live.
These partnerships strengthen safety, quality and oversight while widening opportunities for people in regional, rural and remote communities to access clinical trials and innovative treatments.
Our resources support the planning, setup and delivery of teletrials in Victoria. They include templates, checklists and national guidance for health professionals, researchers and sponsors. All documents are reviewed regularly to ensure they are current and reflect best practice.
A growing collection of publications, reports and insights is documenting how the teletrial model is improving access to clinical trials and strengthening research capability.
The Teletrial Support Program (TSP) supports clinical trial sites to enable participation in the Australian Teletrial Program. TSP funding strengthens site capacity and capability while improving access to clinical trials for participants in regional, rural and remote areas.
