Who will coordinate Victoria’s role in the national scheme?
A Biotechnology Safety and Ethics Unit (BSEU) has been established within the Public Health Division of the Victorian Department of Human Services to provide a central coordination role for the Victorian Government’s participation in the national scheme in relation to biotechnology safety and ethics. The BSEU will be responsible for informing the Victorian community about the national scheme, and responding to public concerns about issues surrounding gene technology and biotechnology.
