AusTrials, a leading multi-site private clinical trials organisation in Australia, has found a new home in Melbourne’s west.
Sunshine Private Hospital hosted the successful grand opening of the latest clinical trials site on August 22, marking the first AusTrials establishment in Melbourne, and the third across the country.
AusTrials is a leading medical innovation organisation that has been operating since 2009, dedicated to the ongoing evaluation of new medical treatments.
The organisation works alongside pharmaceutical companies, contract research organisations and academic research institutes to make clinical trials available to patients.
The state-of-the-art facility was unveiled at the landmark event alongside Brimbank mayor Bruce Lancashire, who said the opening of the new site represented an invigorating step forward for the region.
“The cutting-edge research and development fostered here will not only bolster our local economy but drive advances in healthcare that will resonate globally,” Cr Lancashire said.
The opening ceremony featured an exclusive guided tour of the new facilities, remarks from key AusTrials executives, a Q&A session with leading researchers, and opportunities for one-on-one bookings with interested parties.
AusTrials chief executive Dr Munro Neville said the new site is a manifestation of the organisation’s dedication to advancing medical treatments in a responsible and ethical manner.
“We’re thrilled to extend our reach to Melbourne’s west and look forward to the transformative impacts this will have on patients’ lives,” he said.
The new site will play a pivotal role in becoming a hub for innovation and research, and is expected to contribute significantly to Melbourne’s west, driving economic growth, creating jobs, and advancing medical science.
AusTrials has already begun gathering interest from members of the public for upcoming trials through its website.
