One Partner.
Full-service CRO +
Imaging Core Lab.
Avion CRO is one of Australia’s leading providers of clinical trial services. We run your whole study with one senior team, from first conversation to final data, with specialist Imaging Core Lab and dosimetry in-house. We don’t just run trials – we enable sponsors to accelerate global development timelines.
Avion CRO is a mid-sized, full-service CRO and a recognised leader in oncological, radiopharmaceutical and imaging-enabled clinical trials. Our senior leadership are all experienced scientists who challenge and improve the plan rather than simply executing it, and the team who scopes your study stays on it.
We’re forward-thinking and AI-enabled too, using validated tools across our platforms so studies move faster without compromising quality.
Your gateway
into Australia
For international sponsors, Australia offers a faster, more cost-effective route to first data. A notification-based regulatory scheme gets studies underway sooner than comparable US or European pathways, and eligible companies can access a refundable R&D tax offset of up to 43.5%. Avion CRO is the on-the-ground partner that turns those advantages into reality.
Two ways to work with us
Full-Service
Clinical Development
Every stage of your trial, from protocol to final report, delivered in-house by one scientist-led team.
Imaging Core Lab
& Radiopharma
Specialist imaging, dosimetry and radiopharmaceutical trial delivery, with the Imaging Core Lab inside the CRO rather than subcontracted. One team, one contract, faster decisions.
Sponsors come to Avion CRO for the capability and stay for the partnership.
Studies start quickly through our established network of Australian sites and investigators. Decisions are made fast, without layers of process. And the people who win the work stay on the work, so you never have to meet a new team mid-study.
Where specialist services beyond the CRO are needed, such as radiopharmacies, central labs and CDMOs, we manage them on your behalf. One point of accountability, and one less thing for you to run.
Global Radiopharmaceutical Sponsor“Avion CRO has been an outstanding partner across several fast-moving, high-priority clinical programs, combining deep regulatory expertise with strong operational execution and flexibility. Their ability to navigate complex CTN and HREC requirements, manage tight timelines and maintain high standards for safety and audit readiness has been particularly valuable. Avion CRO has become a true extension of our team, providing the expertise, responsiveness and Australian clinical trial knowledge needed to execute complex radiopharmaceutical studies effectively.”
Common Questions
Avion CRO is an Australian full-service contract research organisation (CRO) with an in-house Imaging Core Lab. We design, start up and deliver clinical trials end to end, from first-in-human through to Phase 4, with specialist strength in radiopharmaceutical and imaging-enabled studies.
All functions, including the Imaging Core Lab and Dosimetric Services, sit inside the CRO rather than being subcontracted, so clinical operations and imaging run as one team under one contract. Avion CRO is also built and led by scientists, and the senior team who scopes your study stays on it.
Biotech, pharma, medtech and medical device companies worldwide, many of them international sponsors running a trial in Australia for the first time.
