Thank you to ORIGINS Participants

News & Events

Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation in Australia and requirements outlined by the WA Government, we need our families to be aware of how this effects ORIGINS and our participants.

Recruitment of active participants for ORIGINS is now closed. However, families having their baby at Joondalup Health Campus can still contribute to life-changing research.

The ultimate goal of ORIGINS is to reduce the rising epidemic of non-communicable diseases through 'a healthy start to life'.

ORIGINS welcomes undergraduate, Honours, PhD, Masters, and Doctor of Medicine students, in addition to junior doctors or trainees wishing to undertake a research placement or project as part of their studies.
