Australian BioCommons offers dedicated bioinformatics infrastructure to support researchers across the Commonwealth and all state and territory governments.
Hundreds of government researchers have utilised our online services or attended our bioinformatics training events. Our infrastructure supports government departments to address key priorities, including protecting Australia’s agricultural industry from imported diseases.

*Exceptions
Access to our Australian Nextflow Seqera Service, is fully subsidised to personal workspaces for individual researchers and organisation workspaces for up to 3 users. Due to licensing restrictions, for organisation workspaces with more than 3 users, fully subsidised access is available initially for one year, after which we offer partly subsidised access (i.e. an annual contribution fee applies after one year of more than 3 users).
