Celebrating the 2025-26 cohort of our Australian Clinical Entrepreneur Program

 We are celebrating the 2025-26 cohort of our Australian Clinical Entrepreneur Program! Good luck to this amazing group of clinical and healthcare professionals who have just finished this 12 month program.

Our industry-leading innovation program that started back in 2022 has now seen 190+ clinicians from VIC, NSW and WA, upskilled across 4 cohorts.

Advancing clinician-led transformation across Australia’s healthcare workforce!

The 3rd and 4th cohorts were delivered in partnership with Australian Society for Medical Entrepreneurship & Innovation (ASME).

With generous support from LaunchVic and the NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation.

Pitch Events Wrap Up the Journey

The program wrapped with terrific final events in Victoria and New South Wales – and we couldn’t be prouder of everything this cohort has achieved.

Our clinicians did something truly remarkable – they stood up, pitched their ideas to a room full of people, and celebrated a huge milestone in their entrepreneur journey.

In Melbourne, the showcase was held at Melbourne Connect, with participants pitching to a brilliant panel, featuring MTPConnect’s Jarrod Belcher, Boson Ventures’ Shuyun Zhang, and Square Peg’s Dan Krasnostein.

In Sydney, the showcase was held at Stone & Chalk Tech Central, with expert feedback from SDIP Innovations’ Dr. Maryam Parviz and MTPConnect’s Dr Dharmica Mistry, with brilliant facilitation from Adam Wardell.

Behind every idea and innovation there is a desire to improve healthcare and actually doing something about it!

We can’t wait to see what comes next.

A huge thank you to every participant, panellist, mentor, facilitator, and supporter for being on this journey with us.
