I recently had the honour of creating this film for Dr Monique Ryan. Medical research is a cornerstone of our future, and it was a privilege to help bring this vital story to the screen. This is a conversation that every Australian should be part of. Medical Research Matters.

Medical research matters—and Australians can no longer afford to take it for granted. Breakthroughs like the cochlear implant, the artificial heart, and the HPV vaccine didn’t happen by chance. They happened because we invested in research. Medical research saves lives, strengthens our health system, drives economic growth, and positions Australia as a global leader in health and medical innovation. When governments fail to fund science, the consequences are real—and the setbacks can take decades to undo. Today, I’m launching an email drive calling on the federal government to increase how much it releases from the Medical Research Future Fund in the next Budget. Many researchers spend three months a year writing grant applications. You can show you value their work in less than a minute. If we care about a healthier, more resilient future, we must invest in the research that makes it possible. Please add your voice to this campaign, and share this with your friends, family and colleagues. Medical research matters.
