NIFS facilitates the activities of ADVIC on behalf of the ANZ Police Commissioners. The group comprises Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) Commanders from each Australian State and Territory and New Zealand, as well as a specialist scientific representative from pathology, biology, odontology, and anthropology. ADVIC meets annually to discuss and resolve issues affecting the forensic DVI community and participates in capacity building and education and training initiatives.
CWALN is an invitation-only network that is facilitated by NIFS. The network brings together forensic experts in chemical agent analysis with the aim of capability building, information sharing, education and training and quality assurance. As a member of CWALN, the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) provides training, collaborative trials, and reference standards for the network.
