Nine major industry groups have jointly urged the Treasurer to act, calling the combined impact a “triple threat” that risks Australia falling behind in life-saving medical tech. While the government claims these changes target younger firms and are part of a broader R&D boost, industry leaders argue the cuts undermine essential early-stage support — like clinical and regulatory services — that startups simply can’t afford. They’re calling for collaboration to recalibrate the policies before Australia loses its edge in global health innovation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
