“The Government says … 62 per cent of employment growth in the next five years will be in health care, science and technology, education and construction.” In response, they’re reducing the fees associated with these degrees by up to 20%. abc.net.au/news/2020-06-1…
That’s great, but how will the health and medical research sector cope with all these new graduates when the @ausgov is currently unable to adequately support researchers and the sector?
We need increased investment into health and medical research, and researchers, to secure the existing workforce or there won’t be any labs, leaders, mentors and jobs for these proposed graduates.
Guess how much the Government currently funds health & medical research?
A disappointing ~0.53% of total health expenditure, a far cry from the 3% recommended in the last @ausgov report.
Now is the time for @GregHuntMP & the Government to make the most of this #goldenopportunity
