The Biometrics Institute is an independent not-for-profit membership organisation, founded in October 2001 in Australia with funding from the Australian government.The mission of the Biometrics Institute is to be a forum for biometric users and other interested parties and to facilitate the responsible use of biometrics.
Its primary members are government and business users of biometric services and products, with other membership categories for vendors. To date we have over 100 members organisations in the public and private sector from Australia, New Zealand and some overseas organisations.
It has developed a Privacy Code which now forms part of the Australian Privacy Legislation and is currently working on a Biometric Vulnerability Assessment Methodology. Both projects are government funded.
