Our clinical trials services plan to deliver clinical trial services to meet the needs of all patients including our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) members of our community. We strive to provide appropriate clinical trial resources and have translators available in your preferred language, where possible, for use during consultations with your health care providers.

In addition, the Melbourne Academic Centre for Health (MACH) have funded the development of several videos in Italian, Vietnamese and Mandarin languages. These videos provide patients and their families with some key information about participating in clinical trial research:

• Clinical Trials and You (Italian) 
• Clinical Trials and You (Vietnamese) 
• Clinical Trials and You (Mandarin)
