National Health and Medical Research Strategy - Webinar 2 Survey

Overview

The National Health and Medical Research Strategy (National Strategy) will build on Australia’s strengths in health and medical research and world-leading research capability. It will aim to attract researchers and investors and improve health results in communities.

Ms Rosemary Huxtable AO PSM, Chair of the National Strategy, held the second National Strategy online webinar (Webinar 2) on 7 April 2025. It provided an update on work to date to develop the National Strategy, including:

• consultation feedback
• the Australian Health and Medical Research Workforce Audit
• Community Focus Groups

Ms Huxtable was joined by:

• Ms Natasha Ploenges, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Health and Medical Research Office
• Professor Steve Wesselingh, CEO of the National Health and Medical Research Council.

This survey asks for your feedback on the topics covered in the second webinar.

This is the second survey to help develop the National Strategy. It asks different questions from the first survey, which was for the first webinar in December 2024. The answers from both surveys will help develop the National Strategy.
