Biosecurity is the controls and measures to manage the risk of pests, weeds and diseases entering, emerging, establishing or spreading within Australia. Australia’s national biosecurity system relies on partnerships between the Australian and state, territory and local governments, industry, environmental bodies, land managers and the broader public. 

Regional Natural Resource Management (NRM) organisations have extensive experience and involvement in biosecurity, and are deeply engaged in immediate and long-term pest animal, disease and weed control. This is achieved through high-level knowledge and skills, strategic and practical solutions, effective use of tools and processes, and a strong connection with key stakeholders that supports and builds communication, awareness and engagement. 

Examples of biosecurity management across Australia are extremely varied, with all 54 regional NRM organisations delivering some form of control actions to benefit our native plants and animals, farmers, fishers and the community.
