Minister for Science and Medical Research, Frank Sartor, has congratulated all Australians who have said “thank you” in the national celebration of health and medical research, Thank You Day, held on 14 November 2006.

Over 250 thousand Australians have sent messages of thanks to the researchers in our community who are working behind the scenes to improve our health and save lives," said Mr Sartor. "These heartfelt messages of support show that medical research has a profound effect on families and individuals."

"The NSW Government is proud to support Research Australia's Thank You Day campaign, which highlights the human impact of research and provides encouragement to researchers to continue the long quest for understanding and discovery,” said Mr Sartor.
