Protecting Australia and the region against infectious disease and future pandemics
The Australian Institute for Infectious Disease (AIID) is a visionary initiative of the University of Melbourne, the Doherty Institute and Burnet Institute (together, known as the Foundation Partners) with backing from the Victorian Government as the Major Supporting Partner.
Together these leading organisations will collaborate to enhance Australia’s capability in infectious disease and public health research to drive greater speed, innovation, equity and sovereign capability in our response to emerging infectious diseases, global health challenges and pandemics.
The Foundation Partners will co-locate in a newly constructed, state-of-the-art research facility in the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct. Facility construction is scheduled for completion in 2029 with commissioning and operations to follow.
