Refer a Friend

Refer someone to a paid clinical trial and receive $500

Know someone who may be interested in joining a paid clinical trial at Linear?

Refer a friend or family member before they apply. If they are new to Linear and receive at least one dose as part of a trial, you may be eligible to receive a $500 referral payment.

You do not need to be a current or past Linear participant to make a referral.

How it works

1. Complete the referral form

Submit the Refer a Friend form before your friend applies for a trial.

We will email them to let them know you have referred them.

2. Your friend applies

Your friend must apply using the same email address you entered on the referral form.

They must also be completely new to Linear, with no previous applications or trial participation in our records.

3. Your friend joins a trial

Your friend will need to complete Linear’s standard eligibility and screening process.

A referral payment only applies once they receive at least one dose as part of a trial.

4. Receive your payment

Once your friend has received their first dose, we will send you a form requesting your bank details and identification.

Approved payments are generally processed within 2–4 weeks.

Who can make a referral?

You can refer someone if:

  • You are 18 years or older.
  • You complete the referral form before they apply.
  • The person you refer is new to Linear.
  • You provide accurate contact information for your referral.
  • You provide valid bank details and identification when requested.


You do not need to have previously applied for or participated in a Linear trial.

Who can be referred?

The person you refer must:

  • Be new to Linear, with no existing applications or trial participation.
  • Apply using the same email address entered on the referral form.
  • Complete Linear’s usual eligibility and screening process.
  • Receive at least one dose as part of a trial.


Submitting an application, completing pre-screening or screening, or being selected as a backup or alternate does not qualify for a referral payment.

Eligibility and participation are never guaranteed.

Referral payment requirements

To receive the $500 payment:

  • The referral must have been submitted before the person applied.
  • The person referred must be new to Linear.
  • They must receive at least one dose during a trial.
  • You must complete the payment form sent by Linear.
  • You must provide your BSB, account number and valid government-issued identification.

Accepted identification includes a:

  • Driver’s licence
  • Learner’s permit
  • Passport
  • Proof of age card

Incomplete or unverifiable information may mean the payment cannot be processed.

Important information

Participation is voluntary

Taking part in a clinical trial is always voluntary. The person you refer can choose not to participate or withdraw at any time.

No one should feel pressured to participate so that another person can receive a referral payment. Any coercion may disqualify the referral from the program and the person from the trial.

One payment per person referred

Only one referral payment is available for each new person referred.

You may refer as many different people as you like, but you cannot receive another referral payment if the same person later joins another Linear trial.

For example, if you refer Alex and receive $500 after Alex receives their first dose, you will not receive another referral payment if Alex joins a future trial.

First referral received applies

If the same person is referred by more than one person, the first valid referral form received by Linear will apply.

Payment timing

Referral payments can take approximately 2–4 weeks to process after the person referred receives their first dose and the required payment information has been verified.
