Using its unique convening power to position health and medical research as a significant driver of a healthy population and contributor to a healthy economy.
About
Setup by government following a landmark review in 2000, Research Australia is the national
peak body for the health and medical research and innovation sector. Its membership is drawn
from the whole pipeline of health and medical research and innovation, from universities and
medical research institutes to charities and patient groups, and health care providers and
companies commercialising new health technologies. Research Australia’s unique convening
power across the entire health and medical research and innovation system positions us as
trusted, neutral partners to government and we remain committed to realising the potential of
the sector for the benefit of the health, wealth and productivity of Australia.
Research Australia has been advocating for improved national R&D investment alignment with
national priorities.
