An Alliance for Discoveries in Health
Along with our 170 member and supporter organisations, Research Australia conducts Australia’s leading “whole of community” program to raise the profile health and medical research. Independent of government and not-for-profit, Research Australia's activities are funded by its members, donors and supporters from leading research organisations, academic institutions, philanthropy, community special interest groups, peak industry bodies, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, small businesses and corporate Australia.
In the current policy intense environment, Research Australia is working with the university, institute, industry and services sector to highlight the importance of research in generating solutions to health care and systems. Increasingly we are focused on Australia in the nationally competitive research environment. Our challenge is to secure a continued commitment to research to contribute to improvements in both national and global health, and to meet the challenges of the globalised, competitive research and innovation environment.
Membership of Research Australia provides an opportunity to support the alliance in the development of policy, advocacy to promote supportive community attitudes, and to extend your networks across the diversity of our membership base.
