On 9 February 2023, the Minister for Medical Research and
Innovation, the Hon. Stephen Dawson launched the WA Health and
Medical Research Strategy 2023-2033.

exploit opportunities in new areas of importance to the state. The
strategy reflects the needs and priorities of the complex health and
medical research ecosystem in WA.

The strategy development was led by the department and included extensive
engagement with stakeholders through 5 workshops, online submissions, and
in-depth one-on-one sessions with critical stakeholders. Consultations were held
with more than 90 individuals across 48 organisations and included researchers,
healthcare providers, funders, and industry. Also guiding strategy development
was a steering committee that included representatives from both the Department
of Health and the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation.
Implementation of the strategy will begin in July 2023, managed by a dedicated
team at the department.

At the launch the Department of Health Deputy Director General, Ms Angela Kelly PSM, described the strategy as an
important milestone for the sector.
"For the first time - a comprehensive roadmap that would help strengthen the competitiveness of WA researchers in
securing national and international research funding and ensure a more robust future for health and medical research in WA'.
'We know that by strengthening the sector, we will improve the quality, safety and sustainability of healthcare delivery, attract
high-calibre health and medical researchers to WA and gain insights into illness and disease that will lead to improved
treatments and therapies, enhancing the health and wellbeing of our community,' she said.
'The new strategy will complement existing government strategies including the Sustainable Health Review and Future
Health Research and Innovation Fund and will provide important direction for the research community'.
