Get paid for your opinions

Australia's #1 Paid Focus Groups

What Is A Focus Group?

Ever wondered how brands decide which products or services to launch—or how they improve them?

That’s where we come in!

At Realtime Research, we recruit everyday Aussies to take part in paid market research for some of the country’s top brands.

One of the most popular ways to get involved is by joining a focus group—whether it’s an online focus group or an in-person focus group—where you’ll be invited to share your honest opinions in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

You’ll be part of a small group of 5 to 8 people, with a friendly and experienced researcher guiding the discussion in a casual, comfortable setting.

We also offer other paid research opportunities like taste tests, in-home product testing, and online panels.

And the best part? You get paid for your time!
