A coordinated approach of the clinical research activity across Australia not only enhances Australia’s attractiveness as a location to conduct clinical research but also leads to efficiencies within the research community. 

There are several networks based on particular therapeutic areas within NSW and Australia that support or conduct clinical trials

The OSMR has been instrumental in supporting the following clinical trial and research networks:

• Better Treatments 4 Kids Research Network
• Multiple Sclerosis Research Australia Clinical Trials Network (MSRACTN)
• Australia New Zealand Spinal Cord Injury Network (ANZSCIN)
• Cardiovascular Research Network (contact the Heart Foundation for details.)
