Be an Everyday Hero for Clinical Trials
SAHMRI joins Australia's first-ever National Medical Research Giving Day.
On September 9, 2026, more than 30 medical research institutes will unite for the first-ever Medical Research Giving Day, and SAHMRI is raising funds to fast-track clinical trials and help create real impact, sooner.
Breakthroughs don't only happen in the lab. They happen because everyday people choose to back them... through a donation, or by putting their hand up to take part in a trial themselves. Today, you can do either. Or both.
Every Australian is affected by disease, eventually
The treatments we rely on today only exist because research made them possible, but many conditions people face right now still have no cure, limited treatment options, or outcomes that need to improve.
Clinical trials are the last, vital step that turns a discovery into something that can actually help a patient. They give South Australians access to emerging treatments closer to home, without the need to travel interstate and every trial depends on funding, infrastructure, and people willing to take part.
Join us at SAHMRI for Medical Research Giving Day
On Wednesday September 9, over 30 medical research institutes around Australia will come together for the first time for Medical Research Giving Day, to fund breakthroughs that improve and save lives.
At SAHMRI, Medical Research Giving Day will help accelerate progress for Clinical Trials–supporting the final step before the science becomes treatments.
Join us for a day of celebrations and a chance to meet the researchers doing groundbreaking work at SAHMRI.

The SAHMRI Clinical Trials Fund
Your donation on Giving Day goes toward a new SAHMRI Clinical Trials Fund, vital seed funding that helps promising discoveries move faster toward patient care.
The Fund supports local and national trials being run for Australians right now: boosting research in its final stages, when it's closest to making a real difference.
Be an Everyday Hero, your way
Give, take part, or both. Every path leads to a healthier future for South Australians.
