As a Clinical Research Assistant, you’ll play an essential role in the coordination and delivery of clinical trials at one of Australia’s most established private cancer clinical trials programs. Located within the state-of-the-art Tennyson Centre, you’ll support the on-site execution of national and international clinical studies conducted through Icon Research, contributing directly to our mission to improve patient outcomes through innovative cancer care.

• Maintain accurate and compliant clinical trial documentation, including Investigator Site Files and essential records in accordance with GCP (Good Clinical Practice).
• Assist trial investigators with documentation reviews and sign-offs, ensuring timely and accurate data collection.
• Support remote and on-site monitoring visits by study sponsors and CROs.
  Occasionally travel between local clinics to assist with cross-site research activity.
