Patients
Teletrials improve health equity
Nearly 90% of clinical trials are run from city or urban areas, meaning people living in regional, rural, remote or even outer metropolitan areas do not always have access to them, unless they travel or move. This is changing, with over 1,000 patients recruited onto teletrials. Work is continuing to set up the infrastructure, pathways and networks needed so that more patients can access health treatments locally.
Speak to your doctor about clinical trials, or visit the Australian Clinical Trials website to find a trial.

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.
