This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument authorises a one‑off transfer of about $1.01 billion from the Health and Hospitals Fund into the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), shifting capital between government special funds to seed the MRFF’s endowment.
It matters because the MRFF will invest this capital and spend only the returns on medical research, affecting Treasury account managers, medical researchers and universities seeking grants, and hospitals that previously relied on the Health and Hospitals Fund. The transfer is exempt from parliamentary disallowance under s.12(2).
