Time for action: Policy and the Life Sciences sector

With the first budget of Australia’s new Federal Government rapidly approaching it seems a good time to reflect on how current policies are affecting technology rich, high risk and high reward areas of the economy like Life Sciences companies.

There have always been differing views on the role of Government in supporting industry and the extent to which free market forces should be allowed to dictate outcomes. This debate is particularly important to the Life Sciences sector.

Life Sciences companies are unique in many ways. To start, they operate in a constantly changing technological, scientific and regulatory environment, they require substantial amounts of capital very early on in their lifecycle and they are inherently risky for investors. When you add to this mix the sector’s public importance in driving enhancements in the quality and longevity of life there are difficult decisions to be made as to the role Governments should play in supporting
the sector.
