The National One Stop Shop initiative has been welcomed by the Australian health research sector as an intuitive, single national approvals, research management and workflow system enabled through digital smart technology to harmonise systems and processes nationally. Industry and the clinical trials sector are strong advocates for a single national cross-jurisdictional platform to address long-standing systemic issues and improve sector productivity.

The concept for the National One Stop Shop builds on international evidence that nationalised platforms are critical to building a stronger and more competitive health-research sector, and that jurisdictional collaboration is critical to success in federated health systems.

This report on the consultation project to develop the requirements and technical mapping of the National One Stop Shop and National Clinical Trials Front Door provides the following:

• An overview of current systems including user experiences and issues to address
• Technical mapping of current system architectures and preferences for the National One Stop Shop and National Clinical Trials Front Door
• Insights from the three national surveys - National Systems Survey Report, National Site-Specific Assessment Survey Report and Community Perspectives Survey Report
• Themes received through written submissions and consultations
• Outcomes of national consultations to finalise the core elements of the national SSA and, specifications for the final national SSA core data elements
