ANZCA clinical trials are conducted at over 120 hospitals, bringing together world-leading experts in anaesthesia research to advance clinical care.

Our leadership teams provide the strategic direction and support for the ANZCA Clinical Trials Network.

ANZCA CTN endorsement is a powerful badge of quality, enhancing competitiveness in grants, ethics, and appeal to our stakeholders

The pilot grant scheme provides seed funding for exploratory studies, helping assess feasibility, refine methods, and secure grants for large trials.

The mentorship program fosters high-quality clinical research, leadership development, and succession planning within the CTN.

The foundation dedicates around $A1.5 million to medical research each year; supports our Indigenous health and overseas aid activities; and raises the profile of college-supported research.
