Australian Healthcare

Today healthcare is Australia’s fourth biggest contributor to GDP.  Australia was recently ranked as having the second best health system overall in the developed world, due to health outcomes and administrative efficiency. The sector is also attractive to foreign investors, as Australia has a reputation as a producer of high quality and rigorously tested health products.

Currently, the healthcare industries are Australia’s biggest employer, employing 13 percent of the Australian work force.

It is expected that Australia’s ageing population and rising middle class will buoy demand for smart, connected medical technologies such as personalised implants, bionics and 24/7 monitoring devices.

Australia is establishing itself as a centre for drug development and clinical trials.  It is regarded as one of the best places in the world to conduct clinical trials. It boasts world-class medical research and healthcare infrastructure, a sound socio-economic environment, and a strong intellectual property regime.

Lastly, the Australian Government has introduced a range of measure to encourage Australia’s biotechnology and research industry, having established a variety of funds for medical research.
