Did you know? Clinical trials aren’t just about one type of medicine, at Paratus Clinical, we help test a wide variety of treatments designed to improve health and quality of life.

Some of the areas we run studies in include:

✨ Vaccines (including cutting-edge mRNA vaccines)
✨ Heart & Metabolic health (like diabetes and cardiovascular treatments)
✨ Respiratory & Allergy (inhalers, biologics, and more)
✨ Other areas like dermatology, cannabinoids, and even sleep or women’s health

By volunteering in a trial, you’re helping researchers discover safer and more effective treatments for the future, and sometimes gaining early access to new medical innovations.

Mental health challenges are more common than many people realise. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics:

• 42.9% of Australians aged 16–85 years have experienced a mental disorder in their lifetime.
• 21.5% experienced a mental disorder within the past year, with anxiety disorders the most common (17.2%).
• Among young people aged 16–24 years, 38.8% experienced a mental disorder in the past year.

These numbers show just how important it is to talk openly about mental health, reduce stigma, and make support accessible.

If you or someone you know needs support, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

At Paratus Clinical, our team is the heart of everything we do, and behind every protocol, every patient visit, and every trial is a personal story that brought someone here.

🎙️ We’re excited to launch a new 10-year anniversary interview series that takes you behind the scenes to hear directly from our team, starting with a powerful question:

"What drew you to clinical trials in the first place?"

From personal experiences to professional passions, their answers are as diverse as they are inspiring. This first segment shines a light on the motivations that brought our team into the world of clinical research, and why they’ve chosen to stay.

💬 Stay tuned as we share these stories over the coming weeks, because understanding why we do this work is just as important as how we do it.
