We have previously blogged here and here about our collaboration with NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE), previously Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) and the WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) on both BioSys and a mobile app for collecting koala observations in the field.

The app is now live for both Android and iOS and we were fortunate enough to have the NSW Environment Minister Matt Kean launch the app over the past weekend in conjunction with the announcement of a new koala hospital in Port Stephens.

We will continue to support and promote open source and the collaboration opportunities it allows for BioSys and our other systems into the future.

You can download the app from here for iOS or Android if you would like to try it out (and have some nearby koalas!).

If you’re interested in how BioSys, or mobile data collection apps, could help your organisation, then feel free to contact me, or start a chat with us via Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
