ACTA is incredibly proud to once again to host these annual awards that honour the remarkable Australians who advance our health system by designing, conducting, or participating in ground-breaking clinical trials and promote the importance of clinical trials and the expertise and complexity of the work involved. Join us as we celebrate this year's outstanding achievers.
After the ceremony, there will be ample opportunities for networking and connecting with peers in the field. It's an event not to be missed as we highlight excellence and innovation in clinical trials.
This is an in-person event.
In 2026, there are 6 award categories:
- ACTA Trial of the Year Award
- ACTA STInG Excellence in Statistics Award
- ACTA Consumer Involvement Award
- ACTA HEAT Excellence in Trial Based Health Economics Award
- ACTA Clinical Quality Registry Award
- ACTA TRIPSIG Excellence in Implementation Science Award (NEW for 2026)
