Integrity Systems Company

What Integrity Systems Company does

Integrity Systems Company (ISC) is the industry-owned, non-listed organization that operates Australia's national red meat integrity system, headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The company runs three interconnected programs: the Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) accreditation system for on-farm compliance with food safety, animal welfare, and biosecurity standards; the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS), a database of lifetime traceability records built on RFID/electronic identification (eID) tags for cattle and, increasingly, sheep and goats; and the National Vendor Declaration (NVD) system, available both as paper books and as the electronic eNVD web and mobile platform with offline capability. Together, these platforms create a unified digital chain from paddock to processor that is mandatory for Australian producers seeking access to domestic and export markets, including compliance with EU market access requirements and EUDR geolocation mandates.

ISC's platform architecture combines a web-based portal, iOS and Android mobile apps (eNVD), and integration APIs for third-party saleyard and agtech software. The NLIS Database Uplift Project is an ongoing modernization initiative delivering improved mobile accessibility, real-time traceability, and integration APIs. ISC also maintains the myMLA portal integration with Meat & Livestock Australia, an LPA eLearning training platform, and PIC (Property Identification Code) management tools. Supporting services include a 24/7 helpdesk, state and territory partner networks (NSW DPI, Vic Agriculture, QLD DAF, SA PIRSA, WA DPIRD, Tas DPIRD, NT DPI, ACT Environment), and an extensive webinar and field-event program.

The business model is primarily funded through Australian Government grants (notably a $22.5 million AUD grant awarded in 2023) and red meat industry levies collected via Meat & Livestock Australia. Secondary revenue streams include LPA accreditation and reaccreditation fees (recurring) and physical NVD book sales (one-time). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. ISC serves four primary segments: commercial red meat producers (cattle, sheep, goats) as the core accredited user base; livestock transporters and carriers using eNVD for digital consignments; saleyards, agents, and feedlots verifying PIC and EW status; and processors using NLIS and LDL data linking for carcase feedback. Major processor relationships include Gundagai Meat Processors, JBS Brooklyn, Bindaree Beef, Wingham Beef, Australian Country Choice, and Casino Food Co-op.

Revenue model

1. LPA Accreditation Fees: Livestock producers pay fees for LPA accreditation and reaccreditation, which covers audit costs and system access. The accreditation is a mandatory requirement for producers selling into most Australian red meat supply chains.
2. NVD Book Sales: Physical National Vendor Declaration (NVD) books are available for order, with associated postage costs. While digital eNVD is promoted as the preferred method, paper NVD books remain available for producers who need them.
3. Government Grants and Levy Funding: ISC is primarily funded through Australian government grants (e.g., a $22.5 million Australian Government grant awarded in 2023) and industry levies collected through MLA. This is the primary funding mechanism sustaining platform operations, development, and outreach.

Products and services

• Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) The national on-farm assurance program for Australian red meat producers, providing accreditation that demonstrates compliance with industry standards for food safety, animal welfare, and biosecurity. Producers pay fees for accreditation and reaccreditation, which cover audit costs and system access; LPA accreditation is a mandatory requirement for producers selling into most Australian red meat supply chains.
• National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) Australia's national system for identifying and tracing livestock throughout the supply chain using RFID ear tags and electronic identification (eID) devices for cattle and increasingly sheep and goats. The database manages lifetime movement records for commercially traded cattle, sheep, and goats across all eight Australian states and territories, with an Early Warning (EW) status system identifying high-risk properties.
• electronic National Vendor Declaration (eNVD) Digital livestock consignment system available via web and mobile app (iOS and Android) that replaces paper NVDs, enabling real-time tracking and transfer of livestock movement data. Supports offline use, QR code sharing, digital signatures, and attachment of supporting documentation across the entire Australian red meat supply chain.
• National Vendor Declaration (NVD) - Paper Book The official paper declaration form for livestock movements, available in physical book format, documenting food safety, chemical use, and provenance information for every livestock consignment. Physical books can be ordered through the ISC website for producers who prefer or require paper documentation, with new postal requirements implemented for delivery.
• LPA eLearning Online learning platform providing training modules for LPA accreditation, covering biosecurity, animal welfare, food safety, and traceability requirements. Refreshed and opened to all producers (not only accredited users) as a standalone educational resource for the Australian red meat industry.
