PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT 2012 - Dr Paul Dawson

In my final report, I would like to acknowledge and thankthe ASMR membership for their valued support of theSociety throughout the year. Many members have investedtime and energy towards this year’s ASMR activities, whichhave reached millions of Australians either face to face,or through the media, via the internet, press, radio andtelevision. All of these events, particularly the ASMRMedical Research Week® with the 2012 ASMR MedallistDr Alain Beaudet, have been important for increasingpublic and political understanding and support of the sector.Together with the help of the ASMR board and ouradministrative assistant Priscilla Diment, as well as thetireless efforts of our Senior Executive Officer CatherineWest, I am very honoured to have represented the Societyas the 2012 ASMR President.

This year, ASMR has continued its mission to fosterexcellence in Australian health and medical research(HMR) by running numerous events to support the nextgeneration of researchers, starting from high schoolstudents through to postgraduate students. Activitiesaimed at high school students have included an onlinemultiple choice quiz, designed to raise awareness ofcurrent and past Australian medical researchachievements, as well as science road shows andseminars that have reached beyond the capital cities. Ina recent submission to the Office of the Chief Scientist,ASMR addressed the importance of a strong sciencecurriculum in secondary schools, as well as the need forincreasing the appeal of a career in HMR.

For postgraduate students, ASMR has held a number ofcareer seminars, networking events, and postgraduateconferences, as well as providing international anddomestic awards to undertake studies in a laboratoryoutside their university or medical research institute. Thefunding of these awards has been made possible bydonations to the ASMR Research Fund. I thank thosegenerous individuals for their financial support and askthat you all consider contributing a tax-deductible donationto this important cause that invests in the careerprogression of our nation’s talented young researchers.ASMR has also supported our early- and mid-careerresearchers with an online mentor programme, as wellas career development workshops here at Congress.Together, these activities are important for attracting,developing and retaining a highly skilled and well-trainedHMR workforce.

Retaining Australia’s HMR workforce is important for ournation to realise the long-term benefits of past and present

investment in the sector. HMRis not a short-term investment.It is a long-term investment,taking many years to developour highly skilled workforce andto translate ideas to improvedhealth outcomes and economicbenefits. In 2012, ASMR hasbeen diligent in ensuring thatour political masters are fullyinformed about the benefits ofinvesting in HMR, and how thisapproach can alleviate the future health and economicchallenges facing our nation.

Australia’s projected health and aged care costs arealarming – approaching 50% of total Government spendingby 2050. This expenditure is not sustainable and willnegatively impact on the affordability of health careprovision. One indicator of health care affordability is thecost of private health insurance (PHI). The fastest growingcomponent of the Australian Government’s health spendis the PHI rebate, projected to increase by more than50% in real spending over the next decade These alarmingfindings prompted the ASMR-commission Deloitte AccessEconomics 2012 report on future PHI costs in Australia,and the economic benefits of reducing burden of diseasethrough HMR. Findings indicate that the proportion ofincome spent on PHI premiums will double over the next5 decades, making PHI unaffordable for many Australians.Importantly, conservative decreases by less than 5% inthe burden of disease, through HMR, are estimated tohave significant economic savings of $21.4 billion to thePHI sector.

In meetings this year with The Treasury, Department ofFinance, and numerous Federal Government Ministers,ASMR presented a constructive business case for peggingHMR investment in the NHMRC to a percentage of thetotal annual health expenditure. Currently, NHMRCinvestment is approximately 0.8% of the annual healthspend. ASMR’s request is to lift this funding to 1.0% assoon as possible, and increment by 0.2% each year toreach 3% in 10 years from now. While ASMRacknowledges the current financial climate and theGovernment’s ambition to restore the Federal budget backto surplus, we continue to inform and educate Governmentto consider good business practice and ASMR’s data, forinvesting 3% of the health spend on R&D in this sector.This increased investment has a conservative estimate of$25.9 billion in savings to the Australian economy, as

President’s Report continued

reported in the 2012 ASMR-commission Deloitte AccessEconomic report.

ASMR’s economic evaluations of investment in HMR, havesupported two submissions to the Federal Government’sstrategic review of HMR in Australia (aka McKeon review),as well as a recent comment on the draft consultationpaper. ASMR welcomes this review for developing andimplementing strategic plans, and believes that the mostimportant aspect of this process is the vision for long-term structured and sustainable investment in the HMRsector. ASMR continues to communicate this messageto both sides of Government, through its current campaign.In recent months, I emailed the membership with detailsof ASMR’s letter writing campaign, which aims to informand educate politicians about Australia’s future healthchallenges and the associated unsustainable costs. I thankthose members that have written to politicians, and I takethis opportunity to ask that you contribute a letter to thisimportant campaign, using details provided on the ASMRwebsite.

To reflect our nation’s unprecedented health concerns,ASMR chose the theme of “Future Health ChallengesFacing Australia” for the opening symposium of the 2012Australian Health and Medical Research Congress. Thissymposium recognised the need for embracing geneticresearch, personalised medicine and translationalresearch for tackling important health issues, such asdiabetes and obesity, cardiovascular disease and mentalhealth. In addition, Indigenous health was a important topicof the opening symposium, given the disproportionatelyhigh rates of diseases among Australia’s Indigenouspopulation.

The Society strongly supports new initiatives in HMR thathave the capacity to improve the health of IndigenousAustralians. During the 50th anniversary of ASMR in 2011,we chose ‘Indigenous Health: Action on Prevention’ asthe theme of our national scientific conference to highlightthe importance of research for improving the long-termhealth outcomes of indigenous Australians. A report onthat conference, which was attended by allied healthprofessionals and health and medical researchers, waspublished in the September 2012 issue of the journal, Ruraland Remote Health. To continue ASMR’s advocacy forindigenous health research, we recently hosted anIndigenous Health Forum ‘Better health outcomes formums and bubs’ in conjunction with the 2012 AustralianHealth and Medical Research Congress. That forum hasprovided an opportunity for ASMR to generate realisticrecommendations for improving women’s and children’shealth, which will be presented to the AustralianGovernment. Information on the forum outcomes will bemade available on the ASMR website shortly, and Ianticipate these recommendations will provide a platformfor future actions towards improved Indigenous health.Importantly, continual assessment of our nation’s currentand projected health status is critical to ensure thatAustralia’s health priorities remain up to date and alignedwith investment in HMR.

ASMR EXTENDS THANKS TO OURMAJOR NATIONAL SPONSORS

OFASMR MEDICAL RESEARCH WEEK® 2012

The ASMR Medical Research Week®undertaken by The Australian Society for

Medical Researchis supported by funding from the Australian

GovernmentDepartment of Health and Ageing

In my closing remarks, I reflect on the ASMR’s professionaldevelopment since its formation back in 1961 by a group ofyoung medical practitioners, with Dr Barry Firkin being theSociety’s first president. In 1968, ASMR was incorporateda as a limited liability company, run by a board of elevendirectors, including an executive comprising the President,President-elect, Secretary and Treasurer. The landmarksymposium “The Economics of Medical Research” withinthe 1969 ASMR conference, impelled ASMR’s advocacyfor health and medical research, which continues to thisday. For many years, ASMR has utilised office space inMacquarie Street, Sydney, which has been kindly providedby The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP).Recently, ASMR purchased its own office in nearby BlighStreet, Sydney, and will be relocating to these premisesbefore end of year. This property acquisition reflects thematurity, economic security and independence of theSociety in its 51st year. I take this opportunity to thank theRACP for their generous provision of office space over theyears.

The Society is in good hands with the incoming President,Associate Professor Naomi Rogers. I wish her and the newboard of directors all the best for continuing ASMR’s missionof fostering excellence in Australian HMR and promotingcommunity understanding and support of the sector throughpublic, political and scientific advocacy.

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH HELD AT THE CAIRNS CONVENTION CENTRE QUEENSLAND ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2011, COMMENCING AT 10:45AM

Australia’s world class HMR sector. Thecurrent model of cyclical funding evokespressures not only on careers within thesector but also on the basic lifestyle ofresearchers. The ASMRs new report“Returns on NHMRC Funded Research andDevelopment” provides further support forour evidence based policy platform andcampaign to ensure sustained andappropriate funding for Australian HMR.The report looks at five disease groupsand estimates the economic benefitreturned amid 2040-2050 from NHMRCinvestment in Health R&D between theyears 2000-2010. Key findings include:

Gains in wellbeing -The aversion of 98,426 disability-adjustedlife years (DALYs) valued at $6 billion

Avoidance of direct health expenditurecosts -The avoidance of $581 million in directhealth system expenditure

Reduction in indirect costs -The aversion of $385 million in indirectcosts, including productivity lossesincurred through premature mortality andmorbidity related reductions in workforceparticipation

Commercialisation -The estimated commercial benefit acrossthe disease groups is $1.6 billion

With Australia facing unprecedentedhealthcare costs associated with an ageingpopulation and the escalating burden ofchronic diseases, the government hasprojected that about two-thirds of itsspending to 2050 will be on health. Whilethe discovery and implementation of newtherapies from HMR will undoubtedlycontribute to this increased spend our newreport importantly suggests that HealthR&D has the potential to slow theburgeoning health expenditure trajectory.Concomitantly, NHMRC funded R&D hasthe potential to avert a significantproportion of the burden of disease inAustralia, which is borne primarily byindividuals through morbidity and mortality,but also by society through increaseddemands on health services. Dr Parkinson-Lawrence went on to outline other activitiesof the board through 2011 -

In what seems to be an ongoing annualthreat to the HMR funding, ASMR beganthe year with a successful grass rootsadvocacy campaign to at least maintain,in real terms, investment in the NHMRC inthe 2011/2012 Federal Budget. ASMR wasdiligent in seeking high level advice andcontinued to present measured and clearlyarticulated arguments to government.

ASMR was actively involved indiscussions with government and otherHMR agencies to set the Terms ofReference (ToR) for the Review ofAustralian HMR. Members had anopportunity to comment on the proposedToR and ASMRs detailed response whichcan be found at the ASMR website. Ofparticular concern to ASMR members wasthe lack of acknowledgement for theimportant role of basic research, the engineof progress and an apparent bias towardtranslational research. Training and careerdevelopment was also a recurring area ofconcern. ASMR is pleased with the expertpanel chosen to conduct the reviewhowever; there was a perceived gap inrepresentation from the clinical sector.ASMR looks forward to the findings fromthis report including recommendations onan appropriate funding structure andstrategies to implement it!

It was a great privilege to celebrateASMRs flagship event ASMR MRW® withour 2011 Medallist, Nobel LaureateProfessor Barry J Marshall on his touraround the country. At the outset of mycareer, Dr Parkinson-Lawrence said, I didnot envisage an opportunity to travel witha Nobel Prize winner. I am also sure thatmany of the students Barry spoke to weresimilarly pleased and delighted with theopportunity enabled by the Medallist tour.It was a pleasure to meet and chat withmany of our ASMR members. An endearingfeature of our special week is the uniqueway it brings together researchers,community and government, demystifyingthe barriers to show that researchers arejust people trying to understand how thingswork and translate their findings to makethe world a better place.

ASMR has sustained its commitment tothe continuing professional developmentof HMR scientists and have just completeda series of Professional Development

Item 3 President’s Report - Dr EmmaParkinson-Lawrence

Dr Parkinson-Lawrence spoke of ASMRsmission to “foster excellence in AustralianHealth and Medical Research (HMR) andto promote community understanding andsupport of the sector through public,political and scientific advocacy”continuing into its fifty- first year. Shereported that, to be President of the ASMRas the organization celebrated its 50thAnniversary was both an honour andprivilege. Since its establishment in 1961the Society has grown and is both stalwartand dynamic. We owe much to successiveBoards of Directors for their hard workand commitment to the ideals of theorganisation. Integrity and steadfastdedication to the ideals and aspirations ofthe Society are the hallmarks of anorganization widely respected in allarenas.

The unprecedented challenges of both ameteorological and fiscal nature havemade 2011 an extremely busy year for theASMR, culminating in the successfullaunch of a new Deloitte AccessEconomics Report by the HonourableMark Butler, Minister for Mental Healthand Ageing at Parliament House inCanberra. ASMRs vision is theimplementation of sustained support for

AGM Minutes(continued)

Days across the country. This year thefocus remained on how to be successfulin the NHMRC fellowship scheme but alsoprovided information on alternative careeroptions within the sector. I believe the word“continuing” is very important in the contextor professional development...there isalways something to learn. This year ourMentoring Program has been opened toearly career researchers and I would liketo encourage all of our senior members toinform their staff of this opportunity.

An extremely pleasing outcome this yearhas been the interaction of Australian HMRagencies. A united and positive front willundoubtedly facilitate interaction withgovernment to develop innovativeinitiatives which link governmentinvestment in HMR to the health needs ofthe population, in order to exploit the fullpotential of the sector to save both livesand money.

ASMR would like to recognise and thankthe RACP for the continued provision ofoffice space “free of charge”.

The ASMR Presidency has been both achallenging and rewarding experience andone in which I have learned many things.ASMR operates as a team and I thank the2011 Board and State Committees for theirtireless efforts this year. I wish to alsothank all of our members for their supportof the Society’s decisions and initiatives.There are a number of people who havelent their support to me throughout this yearand I would especially like to thank Dr.Sarah Meachem, Associate Professor RobRamsay, Professor Maria Kavallaris, Dr.Mark Hulett and President-elect Dr. PaulDawson, ASMR Administrative AssistantPriscilla Diment, Maree Overall and ASNevents.

My sincerest gratitude must go to ASMRSenior Executive Officer Cath West. Cathis the “heart and soul” of the society andher wealth of experience and unwaveringsupport of ASMR has, there is no doubt inmy mind, gone a long way to making theSociety what it is today. To ASMRsincoming President, Dr. Paul Dawson, Iwish all the very best and know that Pauland his team will continue to present wellresearched, evidence based and clearlyarticulated arguments supporting ouradvocacy to government….. this is what

ASMR does and indeed has been doingfor the past 50 years. This is why theSociety has a well earned reputation forintegrity and this is something morevaluable than gold.

Lastly I want to thank my family (Shane,Mum, Archie and my baby son William)for their unwavering help and support thisyear - words are simply just not enough.

We have conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinionon it to the board of Directors.

Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to provide reasonable assurance whether the financial reportis free of material misstatement. Our procedures included examination, on test basis, of evidence supporting the amount and other disclosuresin the financial report, and the evaluation of accounting policies and significant accounting estimates. These procedures have been undertakento form an opinion whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with Accounting Standards and othermandatory professional reporting requirements so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the financial position ofThe Australian Society for Medical Research and the results of its operations and its cash flows. The audit opinion expressed in this report hasbeen formed on the above basis.

QualificationThe Society has determined that it is impractical to establish control over the collection of sponsorships and donations, prior to entry into itsfinancial records. Accordingly, as the evidence available to us regarding revenue from these sources was limited, our audit procedures withrespect to sponsorships and donations pledged had to be restricted to amounts recorded in the financial records.

Qualified Audit opinionIn our opinion except for the effects on the financial report of such adjustments, if any, as might have been required had the limitation on ouraudit procedures referred to in the qualification paragraph not existed, the financial report presents fairly in accordance with applicableAccounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements, the financial position of The Australian Society for MedicalResearch as at 30 June, 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended.

Where it is not possible to estimatethe recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assetbelongs.Investments in AssociatesAny Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting.
