    Funding breakthrough for WA health and medical research21 May 2020Western Australia is poised to be a leader in the future of health and medicine after the Western Australian Future Fund Amendment (Future Health Research and Innovation Fund) Bill passed State Parliament today. The milestone legislation will give Western Australian health and medical researchers and innovators a secure and ongoing source of funding that will include an initial commitment of an extra $37 million over the next three years. The legislation repurposes the $1.4 billion WA Future Fund - allowing interest earned on it to be directed to local health and medical research, innovation and commercialisation.

  • Coming together to make COVID-19 research a priority09 May 2020The McGowan Government, HBF and the resources sector will be partnering together to provide funding for world-class COVID-19 research in Western Australia. The partnership will fund Western Australia's vital COVID-19 research, including the expansion of the McGowan Government's DETECT program, designed to determine the presence of any undetected COVID-19 in key sentinel groups or settings. The McGowan Government will also introduce changes to legislation before the Parliament next week that will support the injection of up to $6 million into COVID-19 research and innovation. Once passed, the Future Health Research and Innovation Fund will significantly increase investment into medical research, transforming Western Australia into a leader in medical research and innovation. The fund is part of the McGowan Government's commitment to invest in a long-term health and medical research and innovation fund that will improve the future health and prosperity of all Western Australians.

  • New laws to allow doctors to trial new and emerging treatments for COVID-1931 March 2020New laws to ensure all Western Australians have the opportunity to participate in world-leading research and experimental treatments targeted at combating COVID-19 will be introduced into State Parliament today. Currently, WA legislation enables an enduring guardian, a guardian or a person responsible to make a decision regarding medical treatment, but this does not extend to participation in medical research. This effectively denies critically ill, or otherwise incapacitated COVID-19 patients, access to cutting edge treatments which are on trial throughout the world. The Bill will enable all Western Australians to access the drugs and treatments that are being tested in other countries to give them the best possible chance of recovery. View the State Government media announcement (external site) for more details.
