Biobanking Victoria
Biobanking Victoria is the first ISO 20387 accredited biobank in Australia.
Established in 2018 by Precision Medicine within the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health at Monash University, the initiative draws upon three decades of expertise from one of Australia’s largest, longest standing and most successful academic biorepositories.
Housed in a purpose-built facility, the accredited service model provides access to either a fully integrated end‑to‑end biobanking solution or tailored, modular support for specific project needs.
