The Office of Business Engagement & Commercialisation (BEC) provides experienced development support and advice on commercialisation and intellectual property, patent management, new ventures and entrepreneurship, major commercial research partnerships, and new research business opportunities.

o Industry collaboration for major research bids, e.g. CRC, ITRP, CRC-P
· Commercialisation & IP:
