Led by [[Carl Wood]] and [[Alan Trounson]], the Monash IVF Program achieved the world's first clinical IVF pregnancy in 1973.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.monash.edu.au/timeline/1973-IVF.html |title=1973 - World's first IVF pregnancy |publisher=Monash University |date=3 July 2009 |access-date=1 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607002239/http://www.monash.edu.au/timeline/1973-IVF.html |archive-date=7 June 2011 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> In 1980, they delivered the first IVF baby in Australia.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.monashivf.com/default.asp?action=article&ID=21660 |title=History of IVF - Our Contribution |publisher=Monash IVF Australia |access-date=1 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090915053811/http://www.monashivf.com/default.asp?action=article&ID=21660 |archive-date=15 September 2009}}</ref> This eventually became a massive source of revenue for the university at a time when university funding in Australia was beginning to slow down.

In the late 1980s, the [[Dawkins Reforms]] changed the landscape of higher education in Australia. Under the leadership of Vice-Chancellor [[Mal Logan]], Monash transformed dramatically. In 1988, Monash University had only one campus in [[Monash University, Clayton campus|Clayton]], with around 15,000 students.<ref>{{cite book |title=Monash: Remaking the University |first=Simon |last=Marginson |author-link=Simon Marginson |year=2000 |publisher=Allen & Unwin |location=St Leonards, NSW, Australia |isbn=978-1-86508-268-4 |page=97}}</ref> Just over a decade later, it had 8 campuses (including 2 overseas), a European research and teaching centre, and more than 50,000 students, making it the largest and most internationalised Australian university.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.monash.edu.au/about/overview/brief-history.html |title=Brief history of Monash |publisher=Monash University |date=10 November 2009 |access-date=1 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090414201941/http://www.monash.edu.au/about/overview/brief-history.html |archive-date=14 April 2009 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

===Expansion in the 1990s===
Expansion of the university began in 1990 with a series of mergers between Monash, the Chisholm Institute of Technology, and the Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education. In 1991 a merger with the Victorian College of Pharmacy created a new faculty of the university. This continued in 1994, with the establishment of the [[Monash University, Berwick campus|Berwick campus]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.monash.edu/about/who/history |title=The History of Monash - Monash University |access-date=13 November 2016 |archive-date=14 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161114001823/http://www.monash.edu/about/who/history |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1998, the university opened the [[Monash University Malaysia campus|Malaysia campus]], its first overseas campus and the first foreign university in [[Malaysia]]. In 2001, [[Monash University, South Africa campus|Monash South Africa]] opened its doors in Roodepoort, Johannesburg, making Monash the first foreign university in South Africa. The same year, the university secured an 18th-century Tuscan palace to open a research and teaching centre in [[Prato]], Italy.

At the same time, Australian universities faced unprecedented demand for international student places, which Monash met on a larger scale than most. The increase in international students, combined with the university's expansion, meant that Monash's income greatly increased throughout the 1990s, and it is now{{When|reason=The History section should follow a time passage that is both consistent and timeless.|date=October 2025}} one of Australia's top 200 exporters.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |url=http://www.emelbourne.net.au/biogs/EM00993b.htm |title=Monash University |first=Simon |last=Marginson |encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of Melbourne Online |publisher=School of Historical Studies |date=25 February 2010 |access-date=1 April 2010 |archive-date=30 September 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090930235121/http://www.emelbourne.net.au/biogs/EM00993b.htm |url-status=live}}</ref>

In recent years, the university has been prominent in medical research. A highlight of this came in 2000, when [[Alan Trounson]] led the team of scientists which announced to the world that nerve stem cells could be derived from embryonic stem cells, a discovery which led to a dramatic increase in interest in the potential of [[stem cells]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/domino/Web_Notes/newmedia.nsf/798c8b072d117a01ca256c8c0019bb01/773344f4c4f794baca25714e0005c518!OpenDocument |title=Victoria to Host Key Seminars at BIO2006 |date=10 April 2006 |access-date=1 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090623161914/http://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/domino/Web_Notes/newmedia.nsf/798c8b072d117a01ca256c8c0019bb01/773344f4c4f794baca25714e0005c518!OpenDocument |archive-date=23 June 2009}}</ref> It has also led to Monash being ranked in the top 20 universities in the world for biomedicine.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.armi.org.au/about_us/news/in_the_media/monashacademictoheadvictoriasregenerativemedicineinstitute.aspx |title=Monash academic to head Victoria's Regenerative Medicine Institute |work=Monash Memo |publisher=Monash University |date=9 May 2007 |access-date=16 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130511174914/http://www.armi.org.au/About_Us/news/In_the_media/MonashacademictoheadVictoriasRegenerativeMedicineInstitute.aspx |archive-date=11 May 2013 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

In 2019, the university sold its [[Monash South Africa]] campus to [[ADvTECH Group|Advtech]]. Students who were on schedule to complete their degree on time would still receive a degree from Monash University after the sale. The reason for the sale was reported to be low profitability and low enrolment numbers.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.businessinsider.co.za/monash-university-pulling-out-of-south-africa-with-advtech-acquisition-2018-9 |title=Australia's biggest university, Monash, is pulling out of South Africa after 18 years |website=BusinessInsider |access-date=12 November 2019 |archive-date=12 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191112041814/https://www.businessinsider.co.za/monash-university-pulling-out-of-south-africa-with-advtech-acquisition-2018-9 |url-status=live}}</ref> Prior to the sale, Monash University had sidelined the South African campus on its official websites and did not refer to it as a 'campus' unlike Monash Malaysia.

===Former campuses===

====Gippsland====
As part of the university's expansion in the 1990s, Monash took over the operations of the Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education in 1990.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}

The Gippsland campus provided courses via [[distance education]]. However, between 2005 and 2010, many of these programs were transferred to city campuses, thus losing their appeal to regional areas.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}  At its peak enrolment in 2007, the campus was home to 2,000 on-campus students, 5,000 off-campus students and nearly 400 staff.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}  The campus was located in the [[Latrobe Valley]] town of [[Churchill, Victoria|Churchill]]. Until 2014, it was the only non-metropolitan campus of Monash University.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}

The Gippsland campus had on-campus accommodation including the self-catering West House and East House.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Monash Uni Student Residences |url=https://www.fmsa.com.au/projects/monash-student-res/ |access-date=31 August 2022 |website=FMSA Architecture |language=en-AU |archive-date=31 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220831133625/https://www.fmsa.com.au/projects/monash-student-res/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

[[Ballarat University]] joined with Monash University's Gippsland campus to form a new regional university known as [[Federation University Australia]] from 1 January 2014, so this campus is no longer part of Monash.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-06/university-of-ballarat-becomes-federation/4939744/|title=University of Ballarat becomes Federation University Australia|work=ABC News|date=6 September 2013|archive-date=7 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150407152106/http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-06/university-of-ballarat-becomes-federation/4939744|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2013/06/28/3791847.htm|title = University of Ballarat's name change explained |website = [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]]|archive-date = 27 November 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161127021849/http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2013/06/28/3791847.htm|url-status = dead}}</ref>

====Berwick====
The former [[Monash University, Berwick campus|Berwick campus]] of Monash University was built on the old Casey airfield in the south-eastern growth corridor of Victoria, Australia.  With a presence in the area since 1994, the first Monash Berwick campus building was completed in 1996 and the third building in March 2004. It was situated on a 55-hectare site in the [[City of Casey]], then one of the three fastest growing municipalities in Australia. Monash announced the closure of this campus to staff and students on 7 March 2016. On 15 July 2016 it was announced that [[Federation University Australia]] would take responsibility for the Berwick Campus from 2017 pending government approvals.<ref>{{cite web |title=Berwick proposal |url=https://adm.monash.edu/human-resources/berwick-proposal/ |publisher=Monash University |access-date=17 March 2022 |location=Vice-Chancellor's Updates |language=en}}{{Dead link|date=February 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> This officially commenced on 1 January 2018, as a campus of [[Federation University Australia]].

====South Africa====
In August 2013, Monash University entered a partnership with Laureate International Universities to establish a campus in South Africa.<ref>{{cite web |title=Laureate 'buys' Australian campus in South Africa |url=https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20130913162033720 |access-date=4 November 2021 |website=University World News |archive-date=4 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211104214236/https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20130913162033720 |url-status=live}}</ref>{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}} This effort was short-lived, and Monash elected to transfer ownership of the campus to the Independent Institute of Education (IIE) South Africa in 2015.

==== Monash University Museum of Art ====
{{main|Monash University Museum of Art}}
The [[Monash University Museum of Art]] (MUMA), since 2010 based on the Caulfield Campus, is the result of an initiative started in 1961, when the inaugural Vice Chancellor [[Louis Matheson]] created a fund for the purchase of artworks by then living Australian artists. The establishment of the museum reflected a desire by the university's founders to create the modern Australian university, and to enrich the cultural life of students, staff and visitors.<ref name=hist/>

In 1975, the Monash University Gallery was created in the Menzies Building, moving in 1987 to the Multi-Discipline Centre (later called the Gallery Building).<ref name=hist>{{cite web |title=History & Architecture |website=Monash University Museum of Art |url=https://www.monash.edu/muma/about/history-and-architecture |access-date=30 January 2022 |archive-date=30 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220130042623/https://www.monash.edu/muma/about/history-and-architecture |url-status=live}}</ref>
