Mandatory training for researchers

Research integrity training is mandatory for all MSH employees undertaking research.

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training is mandatory for all MSH employees involved in MSH clinical trials.

Each MSH member of a research team, must complete valid training as part of the site specific authorisation process. The certificates are valid if you've done accredited training in the last 3 years.

Research integrity training

You can access our online Research integrity training through MSHLearn. All 3 modules must be completed to receive a certificate.

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training

The MSH GCP eLearning - ICH E6(R3) course is now available via MSHLearn.

If you have not yet completed your GCP R3 training and certification, or if you are due for your 3‑year GCP renewal, this can now be completed through MSHLearn.

Face-to-face training is available through external training providers. Our preferred provider is PRAXIS - Introduction to GCP and refresher GCP training. Read more about PRAXIS and the savings available to MSH employees.

Important update on GCP training

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has formally adopted ICH E6(R3), effective 16 January 2026 (overseas effective from 6 January 2026).

A 12‑month transition period, from 13 January 2026 to 13 January 2027, will allow sponsors and sites like MSH time to align with the updated requirements. During this transition, clinical trials under the CTN or CTA schemes may comply with either ICH E6(R2) or ICH E6(R3).

International sponsors may already request compliance with ICH E6(R3).

External researchers

External researchers who are not MSH employees are no longer required to provide evidence of Research Integrity or GCP training.
