Contributing to Policy Development
Health and medical research is influenced by policy decisions at all levels of government, as well as in organisations such as universities, hospitals and research institutions.
For this reason, Research Australia seeks to engage with policy makers to support more, better quality and higher impact health and medical research in Australia. Influencing government policy is important for achieving Research Australia’s goals of greater investment, capturing the benefits of research and optimising Australia’s global position.
This includes:
- Keeping track of government policies and priorities
- Developing submissions to government and parliamentary inquiries
- Representing the interests of the health and medical research sector in discussions with MPs, Cabinet Ministers and public servants.
