This video provides an overview of clinical trials, people who run them, and what to think about when deciding whether or not to be involved.
Through our TrialHub program, our community was included in the development of a special brochure that will help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities understand clinical trials and their benefits.
The artwork was developed over eight months by Dixon Patten. Dixon is a proud Gunnai, Yorta Yorta, Gunditjmara, Dhudhuroa man with bloodlines from Wemba Wemba, Barapa Barapa, Djab Wurrung, Wiradjuri, Yuin, Wodi Wodi, Wolgal, Monaro.

About the art
Our healing experiences can sometimes feel isolating and lonely. This art reminds us that we are part of a community with an abundance of strength and resilience. Our journeys are guided by such deep cultural and spiritual connection to our country’s and each other and that taking ownership of our healing is a powerful gift we give ourselves and our communities.
