Trial Link
The challenge:
This project aims to bridge awareness and accessibility gaps using linked health data for clinical trials and medical product development in Australia, to ensure research and industry realise the full potential of these data resources.
The project aims to:
- Improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of data linkage in clinical trials
- Enable clinical trial researchers to more easily discover, link, access and learn about linked data.

The approach:
Trial Link is developing a national integrated gateway that enables clinical trial researchers to discover, link, access and learn about linked real-world data. Trial Link has funded a program of activities across the following themes:
- Discover
