The Australian Biosecurity Intelligence Network (ABIN)

"Australian Biosecurity Online"

Welcome to the Australian Biosecurity Intelligence Network’s (ABIN) web portal, your gateway to Australian biosecurity online.

ABIN has been established with National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) funding, following the identification of a National Biosecurity Framework as a top priority for government funding in 2008.

With over 60 agencies and institutions in Australia’s biosecurity sector, coordination between agencies is a challenge. Without infrastructure mechanisms for national sector and cross-sectoral collaboration, effort can be fragmented, use only a fraction of the data, information and technologies available, and be duplicated.

ABIN will offer ‘real time’ access to data, information and know-how, and use of leading edge tools and technologies to generate biosecurity intelligence that will dramatically improve the ability of the biosecurity community of researchers, industry and governments to work together to address common problems or emerging biosecurity issues.

In essence ABIN will make it easier to connect, share, use and create biosecurity intelligence for biosecurity research, surveillance and response through a secure shared online workspace that can be accessed through this secure web portal.
