Biosecurity protects Australia from pests and diseases that could impact on our industries, environment, plants, animals, and communities.
It helps keep pests and diseases out. But it also helps manage their impact if they do arrive here. This is a big job - one that is growing and becoming more challenging every day.
Pests and diseases are spreading all around the world. Over the next decade, more cargo and mail will arrive in Australia than ever before, and this could bring more pests and diseases to our doorstep.
We are taking steps to manage these growing pest and disease risks and build a stronger biosecurity system that has many layers of defence.
A strong, smart biosecurity system is all that stands between Australia and the significant, growing biosecurity risks we face.
