Looking to boost your bank balance? Your next side hustle could involve Netflix, snacks and advancing medical research. Hello, paid clinical trial!

Ever wondered what it’s like to get paid for lounging around? If so, participating in a clinical trial may be your ticket to some serious extra cash.

Located at 21 North Terrace, Adelaide, in the city’s world-class biomedical precinct, CMAX is one of Australia’s largest and most experienced early phase clinical trial units. The modern, custom-built facility trials new potential medical treatments to be placed on the Australian market in the future.

So, what’s it all about?

Unlike the dreaded weekend retail shifts or late-night food delivery grind, this gig lets you earn while you literally lie back and relax.

At CMAX you can earn around $350 to $450 a night. Plus, you’re free to spend most of your time studying for that upcoming exam, catching up on work emails, or binge-watching your favourite shows.

Your ‘workplace’ comes with all the perks you’d expect from a modern co-working space, minus the overpriced coffee. Think private hubs with comfortable beds, Netflix access, PlayStation consoles and enough board games to host your own games night.

Plus, you won’t have to worry about meal prep – breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are all provided.

Getting started is surprisingly straightforward. You can browse through more than 20 different studies at any time, with flexible dates that won’t mess up your regular schedule.

A few days in a paid clinical trial could fund your next big holiday or festival outing, cover your rent, pay down some HECS debt or help you build up your savings.

There are short (1-7 days), medium (8-14 days) and long stay (15-30 day) trials to choose between.

Once your paid clinical trial wraps up and you’ve been to any follow-up appointments, the money hits your account – no chasing invoices or waiting for payday.

Wait?! Surely, there’s a catch to this cash cow?

Well, you’ll need to pass some health checks first.

The process kicks off with a simple online registration, followed by a phone screening where they’ll check your basic eligibility.

If you make it through that stage, you’ll head into CMAX for a proper medical screening where doctors will make sure you’re in good shape to participate.

Rest assured participant safety is the top priority at CMAX.

During your stay, you’ll have medical professionals checking in on you around the clock – think of them as your personal health concierge team. They’ll handle the technical side while you focus on making the most of your time.

In fact, the whole experience might feel more like a paid staycation than a medical procedure.

Your bank account isn’t the only thing that benefits – you’ll be contributing to medical breakthroughs that could help millions of people in the future.

So, if you’re looking for flexible work that actually pays well, participating in a clinical trial is worth considering.

Just think – your next Netflix binge session could help fund your future and advance medical research at the same time.
