Leading in clinical trials
Clinical research is central to patient care at The Alfred, where leading practitioners who are also leading researchers care for the state’s most complex patients through its 14 statewide services.

About clinical trials
Without clinical trials, new treatments and medicines cannot be approved for use in Australia.
We are committed to partnering with industries and organisations specialising in clinical trials and research.
To achieve this, we have built strong relationships with universities and medical research institutes in The Alfred precinct, streamlined ethics and contracting processes and built leading technology platforms.
We offer the opportunity to progress from first-in-human to first-in-disease at the one site.
