Medical Research & Health

We want everyone to benefit from science's potential to improve health and save lives.

We aim to do this by:

• Supporting science and scientists to solve the urgent health challenges facing everyone
• Funding researchers to take on important questions with creative approaches that push boundaries
• Collaboratively closing critical funding gaps, incentivising new behaviours and improving research culture, particularly for women
• Supporting research that translates into community impact and better health.

The quality of our lives is closely linked to our health. Australia has an enviable record in health and medical research. This research is crucial to the future health of Australians and the long-term health of our economy. Equity Trustees supports many facets of health and medical research. 

The Medical Research & Health Strategy is currently under review and to be updated in late 2024.
