Volunteering for research

Are you interested in becoming a clinical research volunteer to help us in our research projects? We have a wide range of clinical research trials ranging from new devices for heart rhythm management, artificial heart valves inserted 'minimally invasively' via the leg, to new coronary stents to manage coronary artery disease.

Before enrolling in a clinical research trial, our study co-ordinators will ensure you meet the criteria for participation. Participation is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time from the research trial without any impact on your current or future care with MonashHeart, Southern Health.

All information obtained as part of a clinical research trial remains strictly confidential and will only be used for the purposes of the approved research project.

All our research projects have been approved by the Southern Health Human Research and Ethics Committee, which operates under stringent national guidelines for ethical conduct of human research.

 If you are interested in becoming a research volunteer or have any queries, please contact the Monash Cardiovascular Research Centre.
