Effectively managing intellectual property allows the NSW Health system to better generate public value, transfer knowledge and innovation, realise the commercial value of health research, and improve outcomes. These resources aim to increase collaboration across the ecosystem and attract more investment for health research.
Policy Directive: Intellectual Property arising from Health Research
Updated in 2024, the NSW Health Policy Directive: Intellectual Property arising from Health Research, outlines the obligations of public health organisations and employees regarding intellectual property arising from health research. The Policy Directive provides a clear and consistent guide for public health organisations to identify, protect and manage their intellectual property arising from research.

Commercialisation Framework
The NSW Health Commercialisation Framework is designed to provide accessible information to NSW Health employees engaged in the commercialisation of intellectual property resulting from health and medical research. This document is to be used as guidance only and does not supersede the NSW Health Intellectual Property policy or any other governing policies.

Support for Intellectual Property and Commercialisation in NSW Health entities
We have established a Central Support Service to help NSW Health employees by bridging the gaps in intellectual property and commercialisation skills and knowledge across public health organisations.

The Service is available to provide general advice to those outside of NSW Health on the intent of the Intellectual Property Policy and help connect NSW collaborators with relevant health commercialisation contacts.
