Check out the new NZ Biosecurity Institute website launched April 2009.
www.biosecurity.org.nzThe new website was launched 6th April 2009. There are several new features of the website that it is hoped will make the site more useful to members and non-members alike. It is hoped the website will encourage members to participate in Institute events, both locally and nationally. Details of events will be posted on the website ‘Calendar’ and reports of the fun times had by members on at previous events will be posted in the ‘News’ section. If you or your organisation want to advertise any employment opportunities or courses related to biosecurity contact Louise Cook (
cookl@ahb.org.nz) and they can be posted in the ‘Jobs and Education’ section. This service is free.
It is also expected that the new "search engine friendly" site will increase the profile of the Institute by returning better results for search terms relevant to biosecuity, projecting a professional image of the Institute and providing more comprehensive and useful information on biosecurity issues.
The consequent increased profile of the Institute will encourage more people with an interest in biosecurity and environmental issues around New Zealand to join the Institute and make it a forum for discussion and dissemination of information.
Applications for membership, registration at NETS, awards and grants will now be able to be made online and in the near future payment for subs will be accepted on the site.
Members can log into a section of the website which provides access to an archive of Protect Newsletters, past and present, an interactive forum on biosecurity or any other issues of interest to members, NETS abstracts, other publications, minutes of executive meetings, national and branch reports and other useful information.
