Transformational Discoveries and Long-Term Health Outcomes

As Western Australia grows and our community changes and develops, there is an increasing need for innovative health solutions that serve our community. We strive for earlier diagnosis, better treatment, and the highest standard of care for the patients we serve.

From our early career and seed grants to travel awards and our ambitious Spinnaker Prize, every dollar is an opportunity for a transformational discovery.

Since 1996 we have

1

Awarded more than $6 million in research grants to more than 290 research projects

2

Kickstarted the research career of more than 100 clinical researchers

3

Seed funded over 150 pioneering research start- ups

At Spinnaker, we know that better research means better health.

That is why we strive for earlier diagnosis, better treatment and the highest standard of care for the patients we serve.
