$5 million commitment to bring international clinical trial access to Australia for childhood cancer

The Australian Government has announced grant funding will be available from 2027-28 to bring international CAR-T clinical trials to Australia for children and young people. Funding is from the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF).

General public

This is the first investment under the MRFF’s Australian Cancer Research Program, which aims to coordinate research into cancers nationally.

It will help bring world-class CAR-T clinical trial capability closer to home, reducing the need for families to travel overseas. 

We forecast the grant opportunity will open in June 2027.
