Western Australia is fast becoming a global hub for health and medical life sciences with our proximity to the growing ASEAN market and strong health leadership. Our health and medical life sciences industry has more than doubled in the five years from 2017 to 2022. Western Australia's collaborative and vibrant ecosystem includes more than 100 medtech, digital health and biotech companies, 21 research institutes and foundations, 5 universities and 6 tertiary hospitals.
The Western Australian Government is committed to the State’s burgeoning life sciences sector. In October 2021 we launched the State’s first-ever Health and Medical Life Sciences Industry Strategy, with $8.65 million being invested to implement the strategy.
The sector is further supported by the WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub, which was set up in collaboration with MTPConnect, the Western Australian Government and The University of Western Australia, to help accelerate new health and medical technology businesses.
