Get paid for your opinions

Australia's #1 Paid In-person Focus Groups

What Is An In-person Focus Group?

Want to share your opinions face-to-face and help shape new products or services? At Realtime Research, we run paid in-person focus groups where everyday Australians take part in small group discussions held in a relaxed and professional setting.

A trained moderator guides these in-person focus group sessions, giving you the chance to share your experiences, preferences, and honest opinions with real brands. There are no right or wrong answers—just genuine conversation!

It’s a fun, engaging way to have your voice heard, meet new people, and get paid for your time.

We also offer a range of other paid market research opportunities, including paid in-person interviews and taste tests.
