Coming together to make COVID-19 research a priority

09/05/2020

The 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.
