Covering activities across the entire system of biosecurity, including terrestrial and aquatic, plant, animal and the environment, and at all levels – Commonwealth, state and territory and local – this action plan is a key part of enacting the National Biosecurity Strategy (NBS) and should be read in conjunction with the NBS and the NBS Implementation Plan.
To achieve the NBS vision, 6 priority areas for action were identified in the NBS, with 36 initial actions to support the evolution of the national biosecurity system. Activities have been developed to form the basis of this action plan that build on the initial 36 actions for each NBS priority area.
Given this is the first action plan, the activities are foundational and are a starting point.
