Visit the Garvan Institute

Ever wanted to see what a state-of-the-art medical research facility is really like? Now you can.

Our tours show you what a real scientific laboratory is like and how technology is enabling medical research to progress at an increasingly rapid rate. They include an opportunity to meet and question one of our scientists about the latest research into causes and treatments of some of the most common diseases that plague our society.

Tours start at 10 am and run for approximately 1.5 hours, including morning tea. They are held on the first and third Thursdays of each months, subject to availability, and are free of charge; however, a gold coin donation towards morning tea is appreciated.

Bookings (by groups or individuals) are essential.
