About National Measurement Institute Australia
The National Measurement Institute (NMI), is a division within the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, Australia.
National Measurement Institute Australia Description
The National Measurement Institute (NMI) is the peak Australian measurement body responsible for biological, chemical, legal, and physical measurement.
We develop and maintain Australia’s primary measurement standards to deliver internationally recognised measurement expertise to Australian industry covering calibrations, chemical and biological analyses such as food and environmental testing, sports drug and forensic drug testing, and training in specific measurement techniques. We also provide support and advice on measurements made for legal purposes, help industries develop new measurement methods and administer Australia’s national trade measurement system.
As a division within the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, NMI comprises a multi-disciplinary team of over 300 people across Australia. We focus on priority sectors of the economy where investment in measurement can benefit industry, trade and government. We deliver practical measurement solutions to help address Australia’s societal and economic challenges in sectors including health, environment, energy, food and agriculture, security and trade. We work collaboratively with researchers and industry to support Australia’s competitive edge using measurement to improve productivity through enhanced process efficiency and control, waste reduction, and product research, development and optimisation.
WHERE CAN YOU FIND US?
NMI operates from a number of sites around Australia. With headquarters located at Lindfield (Sydney) and facilities at North Ryde (Sydney), Port Melbourne (Victoria), Kensington (Western Australia) and Canberra (ACT), NMI also has a network of trade measurement offices across the country, many of which are situated in regional areas.

Google is celebrating one of Australian science's greats today, geologist and palaeontologist Prof Dorothy Hill (AC, CBE, FAA, FRS). She would have known that mountains aren’t funny... they’re hill areas... #STEM #pioneer #Aussie

Making a splash in seafood provenance research:
We're hosting a delegation from South Africa in Sydney this week, led by the CEO of South Africa’s legal metrology authority, the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications, including senior representatives from the National Metrology Institute of South Africa.
We’re serving up some tasty bites at the APAC Food Safety Conference #AFSC2018 in Melbourne. There’s a Measurement Law Review underway, examining the laws that govern food measurement for the first time since decimal currency. http://owl.li/sAgt30lvlzR

NMI celebrates #ScienceWeek! Visit NMI’s stand at the Science & Tech Expo Day, presented by Northern Sydney Science Hub, on Saturday (11 Aug) from 9:30am at Ryde Library. Touch, see and experience all things metrology, the scientific study of measurement! http://owl.li/2pMd30ljp4V
Born on this day in 1773, Sir Thomas Makdougall Brisbane. British officer, astronomer and patron of science. I wonder what he would think of his namesake becoming "Bris Vegas"? BTW if you're a little north of Brisbane you can come and visit NMI's Queensland HQ at Geebung.
(2) Delighted to host our Secretary (DIIS) this week on a tour around our North Ryde labs. The Ultra Trace labs analyse dioxins and other persistent organic pollutants in the environment.http://owl.li/DGZJ30l2rQE

Excited to have Assistant Minister for Science Sen Zed Seselja today launching our National Compliance Plan for 2018-19. We're the national regulator of all measurement that occurs through trade; this maps out the way we keep your foods, fruits, and fuels safe and fair. http://owl.li/bW4x30kSrkW
We're visiting our Callaghan Innovation cousins this week at the NZ's metrology hub, the Measurement Standards Laboratory of New Zealand (www.measurement.govt.nz) as part of our collaboration under the Australia NZ Science Research and Cooperation Agreement.
