Over time, we’ve started to exceed our original mission statement of “providing access to micro and nanofabrication equipment for Australia’s researchers”.

Acquiring cutting-edge micro and nanofabrication equipment, ensuring its upkeep, and making it available to anyone that wishes to use it takes a significant amount of time and effort, but ANFF is able to exceed the aim of simply making equipment available, thanks to its expert engineers.

ANFF can instead push further, and now we aim to lower the barrier to successful innovation by providing a mixture of advanced training, expert assistance and process development support that isn’t available anywhere else, while continuing to make access to micro and nanofabrication equipment easy.

In order to provide direction to one of the largest networks of research infrastructure in Australia, a board of directors and a series of committees have been assembled to ensure ANFF remains at the cutting edge.
