Help make health and medical research more inclusive

Department of Health

We invite you to comment on the joint National Health and Medical Research Council and Department of Health and Aged Care draft Statement on Sex, Gender, Variations of Sex Characteristics and Sexual Orientation in Health and Medical Research.

The statement reflects our commitment to:

  • health equity
  • acknowledging that every person in Australia has the right to be included in safe, high-quality research that informs our health care.

We would like to hear from all stakeholders, including people from research, industry, consumers, health services and philanthropy.

Submissions close 15 December 2023.
