What is the Join Us register?
Join Us is a simple online register that connects you with researchers to help prevent, treat and find cures for health conditions.
For you, your family, your neighbours and for everyone.
Information for participants
It takes less than 10 minutes to sign up. You’ll need to share some information about you, and your health. We'll get back to you once you are a match.
Information for researchers
Join Us is a secure, online research register that provides access to a database of community members who are interested in being contacted about research that might be relevant to their health status.
Acknowledgement of Country
The Join Us Register Acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands across Australia as the continuing custodians of Country and acknowledge the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of this land. We pay our respect to First Nations peoples and Elders, past and present.
We acknowledge and celebrate the knowledge and the strengths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities and recognise their continuing connection to land and waters.
We thank the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and the many individuals, organisations that have supported and guided us through our journey.
There is a huge opportunity to partner more with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to build on existing community strengths and resilience, often in the face of ongoing inequities. Through Join us, we will work together in the spirit of reciprocity to address ongoing impacts of colonisation so that we can all realise optimal health and wellbeing

Pelvic Pain in Men
Researchers from The University of Queensland want to better understand pelvic pain in men. Your participation will offer new insight into pelvic pain and has the potential to provide a new foundation for future clinical trials that can ultimately improve clinical management.
The Brain Energy Study
In this study we hope to gain a better understanding of how to keep the brain healthy and active for longer, by looking at patterns of brain activity in different groups of people. We are looking for healthy adults, with no history of head injury and mental illness, right-handed, aged between 40 to 64 years old to volunteer.
