The WA Government has awarded funding across 3 funding programs to 19 Western Australian health and medical life science businesses and organisations.
Recipients will be able to use the funding across activities supporting workforce and business development initiatives.
The 3 programs work together to build Western Australia’s health and medical life sciences business capacity and capability.
1. Accelerator Program Access Grants
APAG aims to upskill senior or executive level Western Australian health and medical life science personnel by providing funding for their travel and participation in recognised national or international incubator, accelerator, or business training programs.
Up to $20,000 was awarded per successful organisation for use in funding 1 to 2 team members (at the organisation’s discretion and cost) to attend these programs, by offsetting the cost of flights, accommodation, and registration.
