Launched today at the December Future Health Research and Innovation Fund Open Day during West Tech Fest, the website is a central source of information about health and medical research in WA.
The website provides a single destination to showcase Western Australia’s health and medical research strengths, relevant organisations, funding and development opportunities, and provides a platform to promote Western Australia’s health and medical research achievements, news and events. It also provides an overview of key Western Australian organisations in the health and medical research sector to better connect current and prospective researchers, innovators, and anyone wanting to learn more about our sector.
WA has a thriving health and medical research sector, with world-class strengths in areas of Aboriginal health research, data linkage, precision health and cohort studies.
The website is a key deliverable of the WA Health and Medical Research Strategy 2023-33, which outlines the priorities and direction of health and medical research for the state. The strategy leverages the distinct advantages and opportunities of WA's unique geography and population to strengthen research capability across the sector.
