Health research

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.

The Australian Teletrial Program (ATP) aims to improve access to, and participation in, clinical trials for rural, regional and remote Australians. The program will create an interconnected clinical trial system to enable all Australians equal access to clinical trials that aim to improve their health and wellbeing.

The ATP is funded by the Commonwealth Government Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) - National critical infrastructure initiative - 2019, rural, regional and remote clinical trial enabling infrastructure initiative. The program has been funded $75.2 million over 5 years to bring clinical trials closer to home for patients in Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

Contact the ATP-NT team for further information on how the program is being implemented across the Territory.
