ANDHealth, Australia’s leading digital and connected health commercialisation company, today announced that Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Bronwyn Le Grice, has been re-appointed for a further term as a Council Member of the National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC).

The NHMRC is Australia’s leading expert body in health and medical research and operates as an independent statutory agency within the portfolio of the Australian Minister for Health and Aged Care.

Serving as a Council Member since 2021, Ms Le Grice’s reappointment will see her serve through the 2024-2027 triennium. Her commercialisation and business expertise has allowed her to make a significant and unique contribution to the NHMRC’s role in improving health outcomes and promoting high-quality research.

Ms Le Grice said she was honoured to continue serving on the Council and been given the opportunity to work with her fellow Council Members and stakeholders to address the nation’s most pressing health challenges.

“Australia's prowess in health and medical research is indisputable. Australia has been responsible for groundbreaking technologies and treatments which have changed the lives of millions of people here and around the globe,” Ms Le Grice said.

“It’s a privilege to be re-appointed to the NHMRC and I look forward to continuing to bring perspectives and expertise in innovation and commercialisation to support best-practice commercialisation of health and medical initiatives, which will ultimately deliver better health outcomes for all Australians with new products and services becoming available.”

ANDHealth Chair, Gavin Fox-Smith, congratulated Ms Le Grice on her reappointment and said it reflected her proven record of delivering evidence-based success through the entire commercialisation pathway in her own businesses and the SMEs ANDHealth supports.

“Bronwyn has been a driving force in advancing the role digital and connected health technologies play in Australia, and in promoting Australian companies around the world. It’s wonderful to see her recognised for this and able to continue to provide these skills to the NHMRC at a time when innovation and new ways of solving challenges are needed in the health system,” Mr Fox-Smith said.

The NHMRC supports thousands of researchers and health professionals across Australia through its grants and programs, ensuring a strong future for health research and innovation.
