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.

Visit www.researchaustralia.org in 2011 to find out about new public awareness campaign.
