The Medical Technology Association of Australia (MTAA) is pleased by the announcement today by Immigration Minister, Peter Dutton MP, to reinstate key medical technology (MedTech) occupations back on the temporary and permanent skilled visas list effective from 1 July 2017.

MTAA member companies employ thousands of Australian workers and strongly support a skilled visa system that compliments the Australian workforce and adds additional skills, capacity and attractiveness to invest in the Australian industry.

The Medical Technology Association of Australia (MTAA) welcomes the MTPConnect Clinical Trials report published today.

The report highlights the significant contribution clinical trials makes to the Australian economy, shows we have a competitive advantage on a global level and details how we can grow into the future.
