Coordinated advocacy and policy development ensures policy keeps pace with innovation and unlocks new opportunities for the sector.
We work with the sector to bring industry insight and priorities into key policy discussions and decisions through:
ONE
Develop Australia's first whole-of-government National Life Sciences Strategy to set policy priorities, eliminate gaps and overlaps, and bring Australia in line with other countries competing for global investment and building their national capabilities.
TWO
Establish a whole-of-government Life Sciences Council in partnership with industry to drive the strategy, address broader sector challenges, ensure value for investment and achievement of the government's health, economic, security and employment priorities.
THREE
Recognise life sciences as a priority under the Future Made In Australia Act, creating the focus and cross-portfolio coordination required to maximise the sector's contribution to Australia's economic resilience, national security and health.
FOUR
Invest in data to drive innovation to better understand global interdependencies and improve policy and decision making.
We do this through our:
We consult with members and synthesise member input to develop policy positions on key topics. We also maintain strategic partnerships with other peak bodies and support their policy positions where they are aligned with our members’ priorities.
We engage with political and departmental decision-makers to shape policy discussions and outcomes for the life sciences industry in Australia.
We provide forums where members can connect directly with government - hearing from policymakers and contributing industry insights on issues shaping the sector.
We create opportunities for our members to deepen understanding of political systems, regulatory systems, geopolitical risks and trade dynamics shaping the life sciences sector, including key policy mechanisms such as the R&D Tax Incentive and its impact on innovation and investment decisions.
