Ongoing Event Series

Joint Biosecurity Seminar

Murdoch University's HBI Centre for Biosecurity and One Health, James Cook University's (JCU) Centre for Tropical Biosecurity, and the CSIRO host an ongoing seminar series featuring presentations on a range of biosecurity topics. The monthly online seminar connects audiences across Australia with some of the latest findings within biosecurity, helping to strengthen our knowledge and facilitate cross-organisation collaboration.

The one-hour seminars are held online via Teams, around the start of each month, and feature two expert presenters. The three organisations each host one of the monthly seminars on a rotating basis, bringing biosecurity expertise and topics from across Australia.
