biosecurity built on science

This project seeks to provide practical answers to some very simple questions:

What are the essential components, attributes and enabling systems/capabilities for a successful national surveillance system?- Setting these out in a structured framework would provide a lens to assess where we are

and how best to improve the system What are the current areas requiring improvement? What are the priorities for action to address (some of) these areas? What are the best candidate activities for national investment over the next 3 to

4 years? What are appropriate benchmarks for evaluation of progress?

Australia has the plant health and pest status information needed to meet market needs and maximise access to export markets.

Timely detection of exotic pest incursions maximise options for optimum responses
