VIC Australia
MODERNA AUSTRALIA PTY LTD
The mRNA vaccine facility is being established under a 10-year partnership between Moderna and the Australian and Victorian Governments, and is expected to be the first facility of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Moderna will open the southern hemisphere's first mRNA vaccine facility in the Monash Technology Precinct, adjacent to Monash University in Victoria.
The facility will be capable of producing up to 100 million respiratory vaccine doses annually. This will include COVID-19 vaccines as well as mRNA vaccines for other respiratory viruses (subject to regulatory approvals) and provide Australia with an onshore mRNA manufacturing capability in the event of a new pandemic.
Packages related to the operations of the facility that are available for expression of interest include product and service packages for the laboratory, packages related to vaccine product packaging and packages for other auxiliary materials used in quality control, drug substance and drug product.

Engaging local and Indigenous suppliers
