$26m NLIS grant quite uplifting

A MODERNISED and ‘significantly improved' version of the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) database is to be developed thanks to recent federal funding. Integrity Systems Company (ISC) is the recipient of a $3.9m grant from the Australian government to support existing software integrators to transition to an ‘uplifted’ version of the NLIS which will be delivered by 30 June 2026. The project will ensure Australia has a fit-for-purpose and user-friendly livestock traceability platform which will offer flexibility and scalability to track all livestock movements. The NLIS Database Uplift Project is supported by a $22.5 million funding grant which was announced by Australia’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry in 2023 as part of the ‘Bolstering Australia’s biosecurity system’ package. The grant will be administered by ISC to help software providers with the costs of transitioning to the new system. ISC CEO Jo Quigley said this latest funding grant will ensure that the traceability needs of Australia’s livestock industry will continue to be met. “Third-party software integrators play a vital role in enabling the industry to meet NLIS requirements efficiently and effectively,” Ms Quigley said. “The NLIS Database Uplift Project will deliver a more robust and reliable traceability platform, designed to improve data accuracy, simplify processes, and support seamless compliance with livestock traceability regulations.” ISC will administer the grant funding and distribute funds to eligible applicants.
