Marketing, QA and information services at EMAI
Marketing officer
A Marketing Officer coordinates the delivery of short courses and other educational opportunities for producers in the Sydney basin and adjoining regions, and arranges technical tours of the laboratories for interested groups.
Quality assurance officers
Quality Assurance Officers located at EMAI play an important role in maintaining accreditation and certification requirements across the Institute and the Department’s laboratory network for its diagnostic and research laboratories. These laboratories are required to meet internationally recognised ISO 17025 or ISO 9001:2000 standards.
Information services
One way NSW Department of Primary Industries keeps consumers and clients informed about its business is through news publicity and other methods of information delivery:
The Department’s photography and imaging section is based at EMAI. It provides corporate, general and scientific photography to departmental officers, industry clients and media throughout the state.
EMAI houses the Department’s photographic archive collection of more than 40 000 negatives, slides and prints, including historic glass plates from the early 1900s.
A Media Officer coordinates news coverage about research and advisory services in the Sydney and south-east regions.
An Emergency Response Coordinator identifies opportunities to improve the Department’s planning, response and recovery during an emergency animal disease outbreak and to enhance awareness of such diseases and response arrangements amongst stakeholders and the community. The officer provides a key link between NSW DPI, supporting agencies and industry bodies, making a major contribution to development and review of statewide and national policies, plans and procedures.
