Case Study

Teletrials and First Nations communities

It is important to make health access easy for the people who need it the most. First Nations people have not historically had the same health opportunities as non Indigenous people. Teletrials allows clinical trials to be developed in communities by communities, within an emerging new ethical and cultural capability framework.

The Australian Teletrial Program acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia, and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to elders both past and present.

The Australian Teletrial Program is supported by funding from the Australian Government under the Medical Research Future Fund.
