The MRFF was designed to support research and our future. That’s all. Full stop.
ALL the proceeds from the fund should be used to guarantee we have a vibrant health and medical research system.
The Government has an opportunity to secure a prosperous future - best part, it’s already paid for!
Half the funding. Half the future.
The Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) was meant to deliver $1B a year — only $650M is reaching researchers.
Join the call to release the full MRFF.

The money is just sitting there...

while 30% kids with rare diseases don't see their 5th birthday

while cancer patients transition to palliative care

while neurodegenerative diseases take precious memories

while brilliant scientists run out of funding and lose their jobs

...it just seems insane
