Clinical Trials Register of Staff

The Office for Health and Medical Research has established the Clinical Trials Register of Staff (CiTRoS) to give all contributors and NSW Health, a better understanding of Australia’s dynamic clinical trials workforce.

All data entered will complement the National Clinical Trial Governance Framework requirements and be a reference for future local, state and national initiatives to enhance the capability and capacity of the clinical trials workforce.

How it helps you

If you play a role in clinical trials such as clinical trials unit staff, research office staff, investigators or supporting department staff, you and your team will benefit from adding data into CiTRoS. CiTRoS will capture the knowledge and experience you bring to your clinical trials role, the position you are currently working in, the educational opportunities you seek, and the career progression pathways you need.

CiTRoS is secure

Once your data has been entered into the CiTRoS database, it can be accessed and updated by you at any time.
Identifiable information is required for a personalised link to access your database record and to initiate any requested mailing lists or communication strategies.
Any reports generated for outside your organisation, will only be provided as unidentifiable collated data.

Be part of this exciting initiative by submitting your CiTRoS record here.

Help us to understand you better, to identify any gaps, and to work through improving our workforce together. It should only take about 5-10 minutes to create your own CiTRoS record. Please also share this opportunity with any colleagues working in research.

You can find more information on the CiTRoS website or by contacting clinicaltrialsnsw@health.nsw.gov.au
