About Us
The Australian Poisoning Surveillance Initiative (APSI) is a joint initiative of the four Australian Poisons Information Centres (PICs), based in NSW, QLD, VIC and WA, and the University of Sydney with support from the Australian Research Data Commons.
The aims are to establish:
- a high-quality national poisoning database (APSI databank) for research and surveillance purposes, and
- a national program of research in poisoning epidemiology.
For more information, see our FAQs.
NOTE:
APSI and the University of Sydney do not provide clinical services. For advice about poisoning in Australia, please call the Poisons Information Centres (24 hours a day, 365 days a year) on
