The Taipan snake is one of the deadliest in the world.

And the anti-venom for its bite was discovered right here, in Victoria – saving thousands of lives.
It's just one of the countless incredible breakthroughs that have made our state the centre of medical research in Australia.

And as we work our way out of this pandemic – we have no intention of slowing down.
That's why today we announced funding to start work on a brand new Australian Institute for Infectious Disease in Parkville.
This project will create thousands of new local jobs.
And when complete - will provide state-of-the-art research facilities for @TheDohertyInst, @BurnetInstitute, @unimelb, @CSL and many more.
It will bring together the best and brightest minds in the country.

I can't wait to see what they discover next.
