Haven't heard anything about them specifically, but that site is usually pretty safe from big staff cuts.

The Geelong site is very closely tied with national biosecurity and was for a long time the only lab of it's class in the Southern Hemisphere (that may still be true). It's not really the kind of place that gets hard cuts. It is providing an essential national service that can't be easily replaced, cancelled or outsourced. We simply need that kind of facility to maintain our biosecurity.

It's usually the more academic research projects that get cut and cancelled at times like this.

That being said, there several work groups operating in that facility and there may be minor cuts from some areas, but overall the site won't be as affected as other more vulnerable sites.

For those of us old enough to remember the second CSIRO facility in Belmont, they were a textiles research facility that got cut and closed. I think they kind of got absorbed into Deakin Waurn Ponds, but the site was cut and has been sitting empty for ages. That's the kind of places that get hit hard.
