FHRI Fund Enabling Scheme 2024-25

The Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Fund Enabling Scheme aimed to increase the scale and excellence of health and medical research and innovation in WA by supporting accessible local infrastructure.

The FHRI Fund Enabling Scheme provided support for capital costs associated with undertaking health and medical research and/or innovation in Western Australia.

Up to 50 per cent co-funding was made available for upgrades to laboratories and facilities used for research and/or innovation activities, to provide greater sector access or better support national or international partnerships.

This scheme also allowed funding for major equipment and health technologies upgrades or replacements to increase a facility’s industry offering.

The Enabling Scheme was open to organisations that undertook health and medical research and/or innovation that had a presence in Western Australia. Funding was awarded through a competitive and merit-based process.
