Melbourne is Australia’s cultural capital and it embraces the largest concentration of scientific research, development and business in the southern hemisphere.
The state of Victoria accounts for approximately 25 per cent of Australia’s population, yet carries out more than 40 per cent of the nation’s health and medical research. The universities of greater Melbourne produce more students from the sciences than any other Australian city. Melbourne also ranks alongside London and Boston as the only cities with two world-class medical teaching universities.
