As part of the National Innovation and Science Agenda, the Australian government has invested $520 million and has taken ownership of the Synchrotron in Victoria. Indeed, the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science is so indefatigable, so hard-working, that he even visited the Synchrotron on the weekend with Olympic medallist Cameron McEvoy, a physics undergraduate, highlighting the importance of science and research.

The Synchrotron is leading the world-leading research in a number of areas, from cancer to diabetes research and breakthroughs in nutrition. And we are already looking to the future.
