The Translational Research portfolio builds partnerships that help ensure health research addresses real-world challenges and delivers improvements in healthcare for Victorians.
We work with:
Victoria is internationally recognised as a leader in research and clinical trials, built on the expertise of our researchers, clinicians and health services.
Research and clinical trials:
We provide guidance and resources to support research and clinical trials across Victoria’s public health sector, including:
Obtaining informed consent is a key part of conducting research.
Researchers must provide potential participants with sufficient information to make an informed decision about whether to take part in a research project.
The Australian Government is working with state and territory governments on national reforms to improve the clinical research operating environment.
These reforms are being delivered through the Encouraging More Clinical Trials In Australia (EMCTIA) agreement between the Australian Government and state and territory governments.
Clinical Quality Registries (CQRs) systematically monitor the quality, safety and effectiveness of healthcare within specific clinical areas.
They collect, analyse and report health-related information to support quality improvement and translational research by:
Translational health research is about turning research into real improvements in healthcare.
It helps make sure new health discoveries do not stay in labs or reports, but the knowledge is shared and used to improve care for patients and the community.
Often described as ‘bench to bedside’ research, translational research brings discoveries from the lab into everyday healthcare.
