Trial red-tape promise
May 23, 2016

year in partnership with hospitals,
universities and other research
institutions, Australia’s ability to
retain and attract more clinical
trials has been hindered by the
myriad of regulations which can
change from state to state as well

significant roadblock, said MA,

Ley’s commitment to a more
harmonised approach.
