We’ve taken a huge step forward towards making life-saving mRNA vaccines here, with arrangements finalised on a new 10 year partnership between the Australian Government, Moderna and the Victorian Government.

An mRNA vaccine manufacturing facility will be built at Monash University, helping protect Australians against future pandemics, supporting local industry and creating highly skilled local jobs.

Moderna will also establish its headquarters and a Regional Research Centre in Victoria.

Once operational, the facility will be able to produce up to 100 million vaccine doses every year.
