Macquarie University Hearing and the Join Us have joined forces to make hearing research more accessible across Australia. With around 3.6 million Australians living with hearing loss, this collaboration aims to connect researchers with participants, drive innovation, and improve outcomes for people affected by hearing health conditions.

At Join Us, we love hearing from participants about their experiences taking part in health research. Every story helps inspire others to get involved and highlights the real impact of research participation. Today, we’re sharing Jane’s* reflections on contributing to a study exploring cardiovascular screening during routine mammography in Australia.

We’re pleased to share an exciting milestone: the Join Us research register has now reached over 10,000 participants. This achievement marks a significant step forward in our mission to accelerate health research by connecting researchers with a large and diverse community of Australians.

We’re kicking off a new series of blog posts designed to support people who are interested in participating in health research. Each post will cover a different topic to help you feel more informed and confident about getting involved.

The Join Us health questionnaire has undergone important revisions and now enables the register to capture more health conditions than ever before.

Join Us is proud to have supported recruitment for over 100 research studies so far. Read on to discover what health and medical researchers across Australia are saying about Join Us and our mission to advance the national research effort.

Join Us has helped support recruitment for over 70 research studies since 2021. As a disease-agnostic register, we support recruitment for a wide range of topics. So, what are the types of research you can take part in?

Join Us is celebrating a huge milestone this July; we now have over 4,000 participants to our national non-profit research register. This incredible achievement reflects the growing commitment of Australians to contribute to meaningful health research and improve health outcomes for all.

The Join Us Referral Program is designed to make it easy for new participants to get involved in health research in Australia and support local organisations that are meaningful to them. By registering through specific tracked links, new participants can contribute to vital health research, while also directly supporting causes close to their hearts. A win-win!

Join Us is celebrating a notable milestone this month – the national research register has helped support recruitment for 60 research studies!
