BARDA to Initiate Procurement of the RECELL

System for Emergency Response Preparedness

Valencia, California, USA, and Melbourne, Australia, July 13, 2020: AVITA

Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCEL, ASX:AVH), a regenerative medicine company that is developing and commercializing a technology platform that enables point-of-care

autologous skin restoration for multiple unmet needs, announced today that the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) at the U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), will procure the RECELL System as part of the HHS mission to build preparedness for public health emergencies.

BARDA has agreed to the purchase, storage and delivery of RECELL Systems utilizing a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) plan valued at U.S. $7.6 million.

Further, BARDA has expanded its awarded contract to provide supplemental funding of $1.6 million to support emergency deployment of RECELL Systems for use in mass casualty or other emergency situations. Delivery of RECELL Systems under the VMI

plan is expected to commence later this calendar year.

We are very pleased to continue collaborating with BARDA to ensure healthcare providers have

access to the RECELL System to help patients in large-scale emergencies, said Dr. Mike Perry, AVITA Therapeutics Chief Executive Officer. The ongoing preparation from BARDA underscores the importance of public-private partnerships

in advancing biomedical innovation to address unmet medical needs.

BARDA s mission is to secure medical countermeasures needed to save

lives in public health emergencies which means we continually work to prepare for any potential threats, whether natural or intentional, that could result in mass injuries. Our nation has to be prepared to treat as many people as possible quickly

and effectively, said BARDA Acting Director Gary Disbrow, Ph.D. We look forward to continuing to work with AVITA Therapeutics to ensure this technology will be available to medical professionals in an emergency or mass casualty

AVITA Therapeutics, through its subsidiary AVITA Medical Limited, has had a long-term positive relationship with BARDA. BARDA and AVITA

signed a contract in September 2015 through which BARDA is providing technical and financial support for pre-market and post-market clinical and healthcare provider educational programs. BARDA s

partnership for the RECELL System was of fundamental importance to the Company being able to achieve premarket approval for the RECELL System in late 2018. These initiatives support BARDA s overarching goal of building burn care preparedness,

by securing effective medical countermeasures for burn injuries for use in case of a mass casualty.

ABOUT AVITA THERAPEUTICS, INC.

Therapeutics is a regenerative medicine company with a technology platform positioned to address unmet medical needs in burns, chronic wounds, and aesthetics indications. AVITA Therapeutics patented and proprietary collection and application

technology provides innovative treatment solutions derived from the regenerative properties of a patient s own skin. The medical devices work by preparing a RES REGENERATIVE EPIDERMAL

SUSPENSION, an autologous suspension comprised of the patient s skin cells necessary to regenerate natural healthy epidermis. This autologous suspension is then sprayed onto the areas of the patient requiring treatment.

AVITA Therapeutics first U.S. product, the RECELL System, was approved by the U.S. Food and

Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2018. The RECELL System is indicated for use in the treatment of acute thermal burns in patients 18 years and older. The RECELL System is used to prepare Spray-On Skin Cells using a small amount of a patient s own skin, providing a new way to treat severe burns, while significantly reducing the amount of donor skin required. The RECELL System is designed

to be used at the point of care alone or in combination with autografts depending on the depth of the burn injury. Compelling data from randomized, controlled clinical trials conducted at major U.S. burn centers and real-world use in more than 8,000

patients globally, reinforce that the RECELL System is a significant advancement over the current standard of care for burn patients and offers benefits in clinical outcomes and cost savings. Healthcare professionals should read the INSTRUCTIONS FOR
