See Australia.gov.au for whole of Australian Government COVID-19 advice. develop and maintain national measurement standards that are recognised internationally deliver world-class measurement products, advice and client services administer the regulatory framework for measurementOur work adapts to, services and enhances the productivity and growth of Australian industries, and aims to ensure a fair, safe, healthy and competitive Australia.Find out how we’re using measurement to help industry respond to COVID-19. Developing and maintaining national measurement standards Australia’s physical, chemical and biological measurement standards. Using measurement to address some of Australia’s biggest societal and economic challenges We work with a number of key sectors including environment, food, health and energy. About the National Measurement Institute Our strategic priorities, service offering, and laboratory and office locations. Developing and maintaining national measurement standardsWe develop and maintain Australia’s physical, chemical and biological measurement standards:We aim to continually improve our measurement standards and techniques. Our programs are driven by advances in science and technology, and industry and researcher’s increasing demand for greater measurement accuracy.Using measurement to address some of Australia’s biggest societal and economic challengesWe work with industry, researchers, and government, as well as our international partners, to address some of Australia’s biggest societal and economic challenges.Read about the work we do in some of our key sectors: Environment: we support environmental management of pollutants, including research into new contaminants of concern and greenhouse gases Food: we develop measurements in new areas like food provenance and fraud, as well as improved methods to accurately measure important nutrients like vitamin D and amino acids Health: we use measurement to support personalised healthcare and optimal health outcomes. This includes producing DNA reference materials to support genetic testing in cancer patients. Energy: we support energy security including developing methods for electrical measurements, and producing internationally comparable reference gases for the natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) industriesOur specialised measurement capabilities also support applications in advanced manufacturing, defence and security, and many other areas important toAustralia. Find out how we’re using measurement to help industry respond to COVID-19.Delivering world-class measurement products and client servicesMeasurement is integral to a successful economy, the progress of innovation and science, and in ensuring Australian consumers can rely on trusted measurements for fair trade in goods and services. Physical measurement servicesOur physical measurement services include calibrations, contract research, consultancies, and instrument development across a range of physical quantities like time, mass and length.Chemical and biological measurement servicesOur chemical and biological measurement services include chemical and biological reference materials, chemical and gas proficiency testing services, and advice about how to deposit biological materials for patents.Testing and analyticalservicesOur testing and analyticalservices include food, agricultural and pharmaceutical safety, environmental monitoring and remediation (water, air, soil, biota), forensic drug and sports drug testing and profiling. Measurement training and assessmentWe develop measurement skills across industry, government and the community by offering training courses, collaborative research projects, and by supervising under-graduate and post-graduate students.Student opportunitiesWe offer a variety of student opportunitiesincludingpaid and unpaid opportunities for tertiary students, and hosting students for vocational placements and work experience.Find out more about our student opportunities.About the National Measurement InstituteLed by Australia’s Chief Metrologist Dr Bruce Warrington, we are a team of more than 350 people located across Australia.Each year on 20 May the world celebrates World Metrology Day. It marks the the anniversary of the international treaty adopting the metric system in 1875, and it's the day that we encourage awareness about the importance of measurement and its impact on our daily lives.In Australia, on World Metrology Day we celebrate the work and achievements of researchers in the measurement field by awarding the: Email info@measurement.gov.au Phone 1800 020 076 Write to us at: GPO Box 2013, Canberra ACT 2601 Acknowledgement of CountryOur department recognises the First Peoples of this nation and their ongoing connection to culture and country.We acknowledge First Nations Peoples as the traditional Owners, Custodians and Lore Keepers of the world'soldest living culture and pay respects to the Elders past, present and emerging.
