ABOUT NRL
Australia’s National (Serology) Reference Laboratory (NRL) was first established as part of the Australian Government’s HIV and AIDS strategy in 1985 and later that year was designated as a World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Diagnostics and Laboratory Support for HIV and AIDS and Other Blood-borne Infections.
Over time, NRL has emerged as a global leader in the science of quality for infectious disease testing and we believe that good science makes all the difference because the outcome of testing has such a significant impact on individuals and the community.
