Vision

The Australian Teletrial Program (ATP) aims to improve access to, and participation in, clinical trials for rural, regional and remote Australians.

Teletrials is a proven model and uses telecommunications technology to connect rural, regional and remote (RRR) clinical trial site clusters. This allows patients the chance to join clinical trials closer to home.

A teletrial is a clinical trial that is delivered closer to home, particularly for regional, rural and remote patients. It includes groups of clinical trials sites that work together under the supervision of a lead clinician.
