Partner with an Independent Site That Delivers

At Waitematā Clinical Research, we combine independence with experience to give sponsors and CROs a research partner that is agile, reliable, and results-focused.
As a privately owned and operated site, we can move faster, respond directly, and deliver the data quality and operational excellence that global sponsors demand — without the delays of large network bureaucracy.
Why Sponsors Choose Waitematā
Independent, agile, and responsive
Proven track record
Fast study start-up and first-patient-in timelines
HiPAA and FDA compliant systems
Publication record in The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine

Responsiveness You Can Count On

As a stand-alone, owner-managed site, our decision-making is immediate and transparent. We understand that time lost in feasibility or contracting can cost months downstream — which is why we’ve built a process that moves fast without compromising quality.
Our standard timelines:

Feasibility response: within 5 business days

Contract and budget review: rapid turnaround

Dedicated contact: one point of communication from start-up to close-out

From site selection to first patient visit: often within weeks

“They are very knowledgeable in all aspects of clinical trial conduct, recruit well, produce high quality data and are very responsive to the needs of the sponsor/CRO. When working with them it really feels like we are all part of the same team.”

— Senior CRA

Strengthened by our Paratus Partnership

Waitematā Clinical Research has entered a strategic partnership with Paratus Clinical Research, strengthening trans-Tasman clinical trial delivery across Australia and New Zealand.

This partnership combines Paratus’ refined centralised functions with Waitematā’s established, investigator-led Auckland site — giving sponsors and CROs an even stronger, more coordinated ANZ delivery option while maintaining the agile, high-quality service we are known for.

What this means for sponsors and CROs:
Streamlined trial start-up supported by centralised systems
Experienced investigator teams with strong local delivery
Consistent governance and oversight across both countries
Coordinated ANZ capability for multi-site studies
Enhanced operational efficiency without losing site agility
The result:
Greater reach, stronger infrastructure, and the same trusted Waitematā performance — now backed by a trans-Tasman network.

Established referral networks with GPs, pharmacies, and community groups
Collaboration with central recruitment partners (Referral Hub, Clinibase, Trial Facts)
