Join a clinical trial and help shape the future of medicine.
Clinical trials are where tomorrow’s treatments begin, and every breakthrough starts with someone willing to take the first step.
Next time you visit your local pharmacy, take a look at the shelves. Every pain reliever, every prescription medicine, none of it would exist without people like you participating in clinical trials.
Imagine helping to create breakthrough therapies and life-changing treatments for conditions that touch nearly every family, like asthma, diabetes, mental health, heart disease and age-related diseases such as dementia and alzheimers. From the pain relief you trust to the daily prescriptions your parents, partner or child rely on. Every one one of them started in a clinical trial with volunteers just like you.
At Nucleus Network, you’re not just signing up for a clinical trial, you’re becoming an important partner in medical progress.
We’re proud to be the global leader in early-phase clinical trials, having conducted over 1,500 clinical trials since 2004 in Brisbane, Melbourne, Minneapolis, and London. Whether you’re healthy or living with a condition, your role in research helps develop new treatments that could change lives, maybe even your own!
When you take part in a clinical trial, you’re committing your time, just like a job. That’s why we offer fair compensation for your involvement, in line with local guidelines and the demands of each study.

Be part of medical progress
From vaccines to breakthrough therapies, research partners like you help turn science into real-world solutions. Your involvement brings tomorrow’s treatments one step closer to those who need them.
Compensation for your time
Taking part in a clinical trial is a meaningful commitment; it’s a commitment that starts at screening and continues at the end of the study. That’s why eligible participants are compensated for their time and commitment. Payment reflects the level of commitment required for each study, taking into account things such as the time required to stay in our clinic and the number of visits required throughout the length of the study.
Safety always comes first
Your safety is our top priority. Nucleus Network rigorously asses before we agree to conduct it and then reviewed and approved by an independent ethics committee. These committees typically include medical professionals and specialists, scientists, lawyers and community members, and people who ensure the rights, safety and wellbeing of participants are protected.
Comfortable, modern clinics
Enjoy catered meals, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a welcoming environment designed to help you feel at ease. Our recreation areas offer space to relax, stream your favorite shows, play games, or connect with others. Many participants also use their time in the clinic to study or work remotely, with access to reliable internet and flexible downtime. Whether you’re here for a short visit or a longer stay, we make the experience safe, social, and stress-free.
Flexible study options
We’re recruiting for new studies all the time, so there’s bound to be something that fits your schedule, lifestyle, and preferences. From quick outpatient visits to overnight stays or multi-week programs, you can choose the type of study that works for you.
With clinics in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Minneapolis, it’s easy to take part wherever you’re based.
Remuneration for your time and commitment
We recognize that taking part in a clinical trial is a meaningful commitment, and participants are paid for the time and involvement required. Remuneration is based on the total time commitment over the course of the study, including any required in-clinic stays and follow-up appointments. These visits are essential to the success of the research, and we do our best to make the experience supportive, flexible, and fairly compensated for your time and commitment.
Health insights from a medical professional
As part of the screening process, you will receive a comprehensive health assessment conducted by a qualified medical doctor. This may include blood tests, heart checks, and other routine measures, depending on the study. For many participants, it is an opportunity to gain valuable insights into their health, even uncovering conditions they did not know they had. In some cases, these screenings have led to the early detection of potentially serious issues that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. It is a meaningful benefit, delivered as part of your contribution to medical research.
Play a vital role in medical progress
When you take part in a clinical trial, you are not just a participant; you’re a vital partner in a carefully monitored process. The data collected from your involvement helps determine how new treatments are used in the real world, including the best dose, how it is taken, and who it helps most. Your involvement helps turn research into real-world impact.
We welcome research partners from all walks of life. Each study has its own criteria, but you may be eligible if you are:

Clinical trials are an essential step in developing new medicines, vaccines, and treatments. They help researchers understand how a therapy works in people, including how much to take, how often, and who it can help.
Before any trial involves participants, the treatment has already been carefully tested in laboratories. Once it reaches a clinical trial, it is reviewed and approved by an independent ethics committee to ensure it meets strict safety and ethical standards.
Volunteers are at the heart of this process. When you take part, you are not just helping researchers, you’re contributing to the health of future patients and families. Every medicine in your pharmacy, from antibiotics to asthma inhalers, exists because people like you chose to get involved.
Participation is always voluntary, and you are supported by qualified medical professionals every step of the way.
No. Some of our studies are designed for people with specific health conditions, while others involve healthy adults. Each trial has its own eligibility criteria, and our team will let you know if you’re suitable for a current or future study.
Yes. Clinical trials are conducted under strict ethical and medical standards to protect participants’ safety. Every study is reviewed and approved by an independent ethics committee and follows a detailed protocol that outlines how the research will be conducted.
Before any clinical trial begins, the treatment or vaccine has already gone through extensive preclinical testing in laboratories. Doses are carefully managed, and your health is closely monitored by experienced medical staff throughout the study. You will also have 24/7 access to clinical care. While all trials carry some level of risk, serious side effects are rare and your wellbeing is our top priority.
Yes. Participants are paid for their time and involvement. The amount depends on the specific study and reflects the commitment required, including clinic visits and follow-ups. All payment terms are explained clearly before you decide to take part.
Each study is different. Some involve just a few short visits, while others may require overnight stays or run across several weeks or months. We will always explain the time commitment clearly so you can decide what works for you.
Yes. Many participants continue working or studying while taking part in a clinical trial. Our clinics offer high speed Wi-Fi and a comfortable environment, so you can use your time productively during your stay. We will let you know in advance what the schedule looks like for your specific study.
Participation is completely voluntary. You can withdraw from a study at any time, for any reason. Our team will support you through the process and explain any important considerations.
Not always. Access to the study medicine after a trial depends on several factors, including regulatory approval and trial outcomes. Our team will explain what to expect during the consent process.
