From international borders to our domestic shorelines, researching some of our biggest viral threats and educating our workforces, Charles Sturt University is leading the way in biosecurity.

Enjoy lunch with Charles Sturt University and our Gulbali Institute at the National Press Club of Australia for a thought-provoking discussion on biosecurity, a critical issue that affects us all. Our experts will showcase groundbreaking research findings and cutting-edge solutions, as well as opportunities for collaboration on pioneering projects that can drive positive change.

This event brings together a diverse range of perspectives and expertise from across the country, including State and Federal agencies, industry partners, research organisations, and producers. We believe that by sharing knowledge and best practices, we can develop effective solutions to ensure the security of our nation. 

As part of this effort, we are launching the Charles Sturt University National Biosecurity Hub, a major co-investment of over $30 million. This hub will play a crucial role in strengthening our nation's biosecurity defences.

Tom Hu, the Environment and Agriculture Theme Lead at NSSN, will be attend this forum on biosecurity in Canberra. Biosecurity is a major challenge for our island nation, and these will only worsen as climate change causes more diseases to move down from the tropics. Sensing technology is needed to monitor these changes as we put solutions forward.
