Simon McKeon to give National Press Club Address


Tuesday, 01 April, 2014

AusBiotech has welcomed news that Simon McKeon AO will speak at the National Press Club in Canberra about the Strategic Review of Health and Medical Research in Australia.

Also known as The McKeon Review, the final report was submitted to the Federal Health Minister in February 2013. AusBiotech warmly welcomed the report’s recommendations, particularly in relation to strengthening Australia’s commercialisation of research, reforms to the policy framework for clinical trials and strengthening intellectual property laws.

Save the date to join Research Australia at the National Press Club on 11 June 2014, when the former Australian of the Year, Simon McKeon AO, chair of the review, provides an update on the year that has passed since his report was presented and the work required to maintain Australia’s global presence and leadership in the health and medical research sector.
