Help advance tomorrow’s healthcare – and get paid for your time
With studies ranging in length and complimentary meals, wi-fi and entertainment provided, taking part in a CMAX clinical trial can fit more easily into your routine.
What if you could contribute to the development of potential new medicines and treatments while earning money for your time?
Clinical trials play an important role in advancing healthcare, helping researchers understand whether new medicines and treatments are safe and effective before they can become more widely available.
In Adelaide, CMAX Clinical Research has been at the forefront of this work for more than three decades.
Established in 1993, CMAX is one of Australia’s largest and most experienced early phase clinical trial facilities – giving people the opportunity to play a part in advancing tomorrow’s healthcare.
Participating could also provide a practical way to earn some extra money, with participants earning an average of $300-$400 per night, depending on the study.
So, what actually happens in a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are carefully designed research studies used to investigate potential new medicines and treatments.
Early phase trials are an important step in the process. They help researchers gather information about how a potential medicine behaves in the body, how it is tolerated and how it may work.

It’s simpler than you might think
If the idea of participating in a clinical trial sounds complicated, the process is surprisingly straightforward.
1. Choose a study and apply online
Browse the available CMAX studies and find one that suits your circumstances and schedule. Once you’ve found a potential match, submit an online application.
2. Hear from the CMAX team
A member of the CMAX team will contact you to discuss the study and answer any initial questions you may have.
3. Attend a medical screening
Before taking part, you’ll need to attend a medical screening appointment. This allows the clinical team to assess whether you meet the specific requirements for the study.
4. If you’re eligible, participate
If you meet the study criteria and choose to proceed, you’ll take part in the clinical trial according to the study requirements, with the support and supervision of the CMAX clinical team.
5. Get paid for your time
Once you have completed the trial according to its requirements, you’ll receive payment for your participation. The amount varies between studies, with participants earning an average of $300-$400 per night.
6. Refer a friend
Know someone who might be interested? CMAX also offers rewards for referring friends, giving participants another potential benefit.
Your time could help shape what comes next
Taking part in a clinical trial isn’t simply about earning some extra money. Participants can make a contribution to medical research and the development of potential new treatments.
Every new medicine has to go through a rigorous research and testing process, and clinical trial participants are an essential part of that journey.
For people considering participating, CMAX provides an opportunity to experience the clinical trial process in a dedicated research environment, supported by an experienced team.
There are studies available for different time commitments, so whether you have a few days to spare or are looking for a longer study, there may be an option that works for you.
Of course, not everyone will be eligible for every study. Each trial has its own requirements, and participants need to successfully complete the relevant screening process before taking part.
But if you’re aged 18-65 and curious about what’s involved, finding out more could be the first step.
You could earn money, enjoy some downtime and, most importantly, contribute to research that could help shape the future of healthcare.
