The University welcomed the Hon. Dylan Wight MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Jobs and Industrial Relations, and Dr Amanda Caples, Lead Scientist of Victoria, for the launch of the Discovery to Device MedTech Prototyping and Scale-Up Facility (D2D Facility).
The D2D Facility was established through $12.7m from the Victorian Government, via the Victorian Higher Education State Investment Fund (VHESIF) Pool 2.
Officially opened on April 28, 2026, it is an advanced facility for prototyping medical devices for wearable, nearable, and diagnostic applications.
The facility is a one-of-a-kind pathway for medical device translation that also strengthens Victoria and Australia’s sovereign capability. It is the only facility of its type in the wider Asia-Pacific region for niche medtech products.
