The "Thank You" Day Campaign is no longer running.  

We wish to thank everyone who sent messages of thanks,  inspiration and encouragement  to our health and medical researchers during the duration of the campaign from 2002 and 2009.   

Research Australia is proud to announce that over a 1.6 million messages of thanks to researchers were received over this period.   These messages reflect the strong and heartfelt views of many Australians and their strong commitment to Australian research as a means of improving health.

Research Australia thanks sponsors, event organisers, volunteers, member organizations, media and the many other supporters and participants who contributed to the success of our campaign.

We are currently working on our next public awareness program, and urge all of our supporters to continue to support Australian research excellence.

Past Highlights

“Thank You” Day was an award-winning public awareness campaign recognising the achievements of health and medical researchers whose work saves and improves lives. “Thank You” Day also recognised the work of philanthropists, advocates and corporations for supporting medical research.

“Thank You” Day provided Australians with an opportunity to think about how medical research has impacted on their lives and acknowledge the work of medical researchers through their own personal experiences. The community was encouraged to send a message of thanks by attending an event, visiting the “Thank You” Day website, email or SMS.   

The messages also supported Research Australia’s advocacy activities and are presented to government, corporations and philanthropists to show them that the community values and supports research as an important part of Australia’s future.

The “Thank You” Day campaign was generously supported by sponsors and Research Australia’s Members who share the same vision of increasing awareness and funding for research and its social and economic benefits to the community.
