Research Studies
There are many different types of research you can take part in. See all studies currently recruiting below.
FILTER BY TOPIC:

Complete a short online questionnaire to help Swinburne University researchers to better understand “What makes us happy?”.
Why Doesn’t Everyone Get Type 1 Diabetes?
Help researchers from the St Vincent’s Institute better understand why some people develop Type 1 Diabetes while most people don’t.
Perceived Relevance of Consequences of Diagnostic Labelling
Researchers from Bond University’s Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare are seeking insights from health consumers regarding the most effective methods of communicating health condition screening information, specifically non-cancer health conditions.
Breaking Down Barriers: Exploring Beliefs and Help Seeking in Older Adults

INTEGRITY Study
Join a 2 hour weekly inter-generational program bringing older adults and preschoolers together in a range of fun activities for 20 weeks in participating local pre-schools.
Experiences of older people who have taken part in a clinical trial
Researchers from the University of Sydney want to understand the thoughts and experiences of older people (aged 65 and over) who have previously taken part in a clinical trial.
TRIM – Lipid Study
Researchers from Westmead Hospital want to see if the immune system of ‘generally healthy’ individuals is impacted by abnormal levels of fats in the blood (lipids), such as cholesterol. This information may provide early targets for the prevention of heart disease.

The Healthy Optimal Australian Microbiome Study
By gaining an understanding of what is a normal and healthy microbiome, clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals will be better informed about what they might be able to do to improve health by modulating the microbiome.
BREATHE – Bushfire smoke, asthma, lung disease and masks
A randomised controlled clinical trial of mask use in control of respiratory outcomes during bushfire season.
(BREATHE – Bushfire, Respiratory protection, Emphysema, bronchitis and Asthma Triggering Health Effects).
