The Burnet Institute is home to over 100 scientists and public health professionals from Australia and around the world.
The Institute receives infrastructure funding from the Victorian State Government but this only covers a part of our total running costs.
The remainder is made up of funds raised by the Burnet Institute, competitive grants awarded to our scientists and competitive contracts won by our public health professionals.
Each year the generosity of the public greatly assists the Burnet Institute to continue its vital work.
