Grant Information

The NSW Government established the Medical Devices Fund to help encourage and support investment in developing and commercializing medical devices and related technologies in NSW. The Medical Devices Fund (MDF) is a $5 million per annum, competitive technology development and commercialization program funded by the NSW Government, through the NSW Ministry of Health.

  • provide support to individuals, companies, public and private hospitals, medical research institutes, universities, other public sector research organisations, and the medical devices industry, to take local innovation to market; and
  • increase the uptake of NSW medical devices by the health system where they are cost-effective and contribute to improved patient outcomes.
