National Measurement Institute Australia The NMI is part of the Department of Industry, Science and Resources. We are Australia’s national authority on measurement.

We deliver measurement policy, science and regulation for a fair, safe, healthy and competitive Australia. The National Measurement Institute (NMI), a division of the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, is Australia’s leading authority on measurement. We help ensure accuracy in everything from food and environmental testing to forensic analysis of sports and illicit drugs, and retail tr

ade. Our team sets the internationally recognised standard for measuring things like mass, temperature, pressure, and more, making sure Australian businesses and industries can rely on precise and trustworthy results. NMI supports legal measurements, helps industries find better ways to measure and improve their processes, and oversees Australia’s national trade measurement system. We work with researchers and businesses across sectors like health, environment, energy, food, agriculture, security and trade to boost Australia’s competitive edge, increase efficiency, reduce waste, and support innovation. You can find us across Australia, with our main office in Lindfield (Sydney) and facilities and offices in North Ryde, Port Melbourne and Canberra. We also operate a network of trade measurement offices in other capital cities and regional locations. Want to learn more about how NMI can help your business or sector?

🏅 Congratulations to Professor Julio Soria from University, recipient of the 2026 Barry Inglis Medal.

Professor Soria was recognised for helping researchers better understand and measure complex fluid flows. His pioneering work has transformed how researchers measure and understand complex fluid flows, helping to advance aerospace, energy and industrial technologies.

This is one of Australia’s top honours in measurement science. It recognises sustained work that has made a real difference to research, industry and the community.

On receiving the award, Professor Soria said:

“It's a privilege to receive the 2026 Barry Inglis Medal for Sustained Contribution to Australian Metrology. Measuring turbulent flows better is how we come to understand them — that's been the guiding idea of my career, and of the Laboratory for Turbulence Research in Aerospace and Combustion at Monash University, which I founded and am privileged to direct. This recognition belongs as much to the many talented students and colleagues who've shared that pursuit with me as it does to me. There's still much left to measure in turbulent flows.”

When you buy fuel, food or other goods sold by weight or volume, you should get what you pay for.

That’s why the National Measurement Institute Australia checks measuring systems used in everyday trade, from fuel pumps to packaged goods.

Our 2026–27 priorities show where we’ll focus next, including fuel, pet supplies, livestock and garden materials.

This work makes a difference. We recently took legal action after finding inaccurate and tampered fuel pumps at an Adelaide service station. The investigation started with a report from a member of the public.

See where checks will focus in 2026–27 and how public reports help protect fair trade: http://spklr.io/6183EPqCh

What does a career in science really look like?

National Measurement Institute Australia and CSIRO recently welcomed Youth Science Forum STEM Hub students to NMI and CSIRO sites in Sydney.

Students toured working laboratories at Lindfield and North Ryde, met scientists and learned how science helps solve real-world challenges.

From technologies and nanofabrication to chemical measurement and drug testing, the visit showcased the wide range of careers and opportunities available through STEM.

We’re helping to build stronger Pacific economies.

The National Measurement Institute Australia has donated six specialist fuel trolleys to the Pacific Islands Forum, to support accurate transport fuel measurements in Kiribati, PNG, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu.

It’s all part of Australia’s ongoing support for quality trade infrastructure and economic resilience in our region.
