The Benefits of Conducting Clinical Trials in Australia

In a recent benchmarking study* Australia was recognised as an ideal and safe location for Pharma Outsourcing. Conducting clinical trials in Australia has the following benefits:

  • Established and mature regulatory regime (an original contributing country to ICH-GCP guidelines)

  • Clinical Trials recognized as some of the best in the Asia Pacific region

  • High level of IP protection

  • Low risk destination (Infrastructure, Legal, Economic, Human Capital, Geopolitical)

  • Mature pharmaceutical market

  • Counter-seasonality with the Northern Hemisphere means trial sites can be initiated up to six months earlier for appropriate studies.
