Medical research has been named a national priority, but it is not being funded accordingly.
Here in Wentworth, we see its value every day.
We're home to world-class institutions like the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, The Kinghorn Cancer Centre and the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, and to researchers whose work saves lives, strengthens our economy, and continues to push what's possible in medicine.
The Medical Research Future Fund was designed to provide stable, predictable backing for this work. Instead, spending has been constrained, placing institutes under increasing financial pressure and delaying some research projects.
If we want Australians to keep benefiting from life-saving discoveries, we need to treat research funding as essential national infrastructure.
That's why I'm supporting Kooyong Independent Dr Monique Ryan's call for the Federal Government to lift current limits on MRFF spending in the next Budget, and provide the certainty our researchers need.
