The Opposition is supporting moves to further develop a treatment for jack jumper allergy sufferers.
Opposition health spokeswoman Sue Napier said Royal Hobart Hospital staff who had developed the anti-venom treatment had applied to the Federal Government for support.
Mrs Napier said she would lobby the Federal Government for the venom extract to be listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
She also urged the State Government to sponsor the commercialisation and work with the hospital to find an industry partner.
