Medicines Australia has tabled a submission urging the Parliament to pass legislation that will create the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF).

However, if the MRFF is to succeed in addressing the health needs of the future it needs close collaboration with Australia’s innovative medicines industry.

The MRFF can be a positive step forward for Australia, creating an environment in public and private research which can deliver the results that Australian patients deserve.

Medicines Australia CEO Tim James said, “We are keen to work with the Australian Government to make this research fund a reality.”

“The MRFF will help to assist growth in Australian exports through commercialisation of new therapies and meet global health needs, including generating economy wide dividends for Australia.”
