Be part of Victoria's zero-emission advanced air mobility and electric aviation revolution
The State Government of Victoria is embracing the transformational opportunities that efficient zero-emission Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) can deliver to Victorian communities and regions. No matter where you are in the world, we welcome companies and investors looking to learn how Invest Victoria can support your investment project!
Opportunities in advanced air mobility and electric aviation
Freight, healthcare, regional service delivery and emergency service management
- Victoria’s supply chain and logistics industry contributes approximately $21 billion per year to the economy, making it an ideal location for AAM to support projected growth in freight volumes to our regions and communities. In addition, Victoria’s emergency services are already unlocking opportunities for AAM technologies in a range of functions, such as bushfire and natural resource management.
Longer term opportunities in regional passenger connectivity
- Victoria is home to several large regional centres that have growing commuter markets, thriving commercial centres and strong tourism opportunities. The Victorian Government is committed to exploring opportunities for AAM and electric aviation to improve connectivity between locations that are currently underserviced by existing transport modes, particularly in regional areas.
Research and development, including partnerships
- Develop partnerships with our world-leading universities across a range of disciplines, including advanced manufacturing, composite materials, battery systems, automation, digital hardware and software, electric and hydrogen propulsion systems and more.
Testing and trialling activities
- The Victorian Government can assist with your testing and trialling of novel AAM and electric aviation technologies as part of a meaningful commitment to the State. Invest Victoria can also help you with suitable locations and find partners with complementary capabilities for your project.
Leverage Victoria’s world-leading technologies and capabilities
- Victoria’s deep aerospace design, development and advanced manufacturing capability make a significant contribution to Australia’s aerospace industry. Victoria is already home to a thriving local supply chain network of world-class technologies in efficient batteries, electric engines, autonomous system, hydrogen fuel cells, avionics and manufacturing capacity to support your supply chain needs.

Why develop your Advanced Air Mobility, drone and electric aviation solutions in Victoria?
The State Government of Victoria has made a long-term commitment to support the development of a local AAM, drone and electric aviation ecosystem that promises significant economic, environmental, Industrial and societal benefits.
AAM Industry Vision Statement
The Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Industry Vision Statement outlines the Victorian Government’s commitment to support industry development and provide certainty to underpin investments in drone, electric aviation and future AAM operations.
Released in 2022, the AAM Industry Vision Statement also committed to the development of an AAM Action Plan to guide Victoria’s future direction for sector development and commercialisation.
AAM Action Plan
The Final AAM Action Plan was released on 11 July 2024 and articulates a range of proposed actions and associated timings that will support Victoria’s transition to AAM and zero-emissions aviation.
These sustained and incremental actions will help create market pathways to support commercialisation of operations, attract investment and capitalise on the transformational opportunities in the clean energy economy.
A Consultation Summary was also prepared to summarise the feedback received by community and industry following consultation on the draft AAM Action Plan in late 2023.
