Abstract MedAustron is a synchrotron-based ion beam therapy centre, designed to deliver clinical beams of protons (60-250 MeV) and carbon ions (120-400 MeV/u) to three clinical irradiation rooms (IR) and one research room, which can also host 800 MeV protons. The commission-ing activities for the first treatments with proton beams in IR3 have been completed and commissioning of IR1-2 is ongoing. The present paper describes the activities which took place during the last year, which involved all accel-erator components from the ion source to the IR.
