ExploreFounded in 2015, Paratus Clinical began with a vision to make clinical research more accessible, connecting people with opportunities to contribute to the development of new treatments.
What started as a single clinical research site on the Central Coast has evolved into a growing Australian research network, bringing together experienced investigators, specialist partnerships and dedicated research teams.
Today, with more than 250 clinical trials facilitated, we continue to expand our capabilities, strengthen our partnerships and create more opportunities for participants, healthcare professionals and research partners.
Our journey is driven by one shared belief: Research with purpose.

The opening of our Western Sydney clinic marked an important step in growing our research network and connecting more communities with clinical trials.
Specialist partnerships, a centralised operating model and new clinics in Canberra and Brisbane strengthened our ability to deliver research across multiple locations.
Our partnerships with leading research organisations, centralised recruitment operations and expanding therapeutic expertise supported continued growth and trial delivery.
The opening of our Melbourne psychiatry clinic and new specialist partnerships broadened our research capabilities and opportunities for participants.
With more than 250 clinical trials facilitated and a growing partnership network extending into New Zealand, Paratus Clinical continues to build on a decade of research experience.
