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 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

Studies Currently Recruiting

Living with Anxiety study

We’re inviting people who have experienced an anxiety disorder to take part in a research study. The study aims to better understand how our genes may influence anxiety and how people respond to common medications used to treat it. By collecting survey responses from 5,000 people with anxiety, researchers hope to uncover genetic factors linked to treatment outcomes. This could lead to more effective, personalised treatment options in the future.

Parenting support for parents of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities

We are looking for families of children (0-10 years old) diagnosed with any neurodevelopmental disability (including autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, FASD etc.) or developmental delay to take part in the trial of an online parenting support program PACT Online.

Engagement in Mindfulness Practice Among Individuals with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain

Researchers from the University of Sydney want to learn more about how and why some people with chronic musculoskeletal pain choose to engage in certain health and wellness practices, such as mindfulness meditation. The survey includes a mix of multiple-choice and open-ended questions and will take approximately 10 to 20 minutes to complete.

Understanding Health Needs During Climate Crises

This study is part of a PhD project and aims to explore healthcare consumers’ lived experiences during climate-related disasters, such as heatwave, tropical storms, floods and bushfires in Australia. Information collected in this study will allow us to understand the gap in the current health system in responding to climate-related disasters.
