Queensland Institute of Medical Research Bill 2025
This bill replaces the Queensland Institute of Medical Research Act 1945 — which is nearly 80 years old — with a modern governance framework for one of Australia's leading medical research institutes. It strengthens integrity and accountability requirements for Council members, modernises how researchers are rewarded for commercially successful discoveries, and streamlines leadership appointments.
