With the backing of a $500,000 government grant, Australian company Grey Innovation is well advanced in establishing a local consortium to manufacture the life-saving machines.
Grey Innovation has secured a licence from a leading global manufacturer to develop the ventilators in Australia and is now working with local suppliers and a network of world-class engineering and advanced manufacturing operators to advance the project.
The Victorian Government intends to order 2,000 locally made ventilators, with the first Victorian-produced machines potentially available in June.
