On August 28, BlinkLab welcomed the Hon Stephen Dawson MLC, Western Australia’s Minister for Science and Innovation and Medical Research, to our office in Leiden, the Netherlands. He was joined by Rebeka Marton, Chief of Staff, and Rebecca Tomkinson, Agent General for Western Australia in the UK and Europe.
We discussed the future of medtech and digital health in Western Australia, opportunities within WA’s clinical research ecosystem, and how BlinkLab could establish a meaningful presence there, including the potential for Western Australia to become one of our Australian clinical and research hubs.
The conversation also covered changes to the NDIS, long assessment waitlists, and how technology could help expand access to autism and ADHD assessment, particularly in regional and underserved communities.
Thank you to Minister Dawson, Ms Marton, and Ms Tomkinson for visiting us and for such an engaging discussion. We look forward to continuing the conversation.
