Why invest in nursing and midwifery research?

Investment into health and medical research provides exceptional returns and represents an opportunity for Australia to secure its long-term economic, health and social prosperity.

It is estimated that every dollar invested in health and medical research and development in Australia returns $2.17 in health benefits (Access Economics, 2008, Exceptional Returns: The Value of Investing in Health R&D in Australia). 

When investing in nursing and midwifery research, these benefits extend well beyond the walls of health care settings, as those who have recovered from or avoided illness (and their carers), can contribute to national productivity through participation in the community and the workforce.
