A nationally harmonised framework for biosecurity treatments
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Public consultation on the Nationally harmonised framework for biosecurity treatments is closed.
The National Biosecurity Committee treatments harmonisation working group is exploring a national framework for biosecurity treatments.
The working group is considering the following minimum principles for a nationally harmonised framework:
Consistent treatment methodologies
National biosecurity specific accreditation
Consistent audit requirements
Recognition across import, export and domestic pathway
This will reduce red-tape, simplify the job, and improve assurance.
We will explore a framework for methyl bromide fumigations before considering other treatments.
We sought feedback from people on how to develop this framework.
How you had your say
We heard from people who know how Australia’s biosecurity requirements are applied on the ground and who provided ideas and views that we can incorporate into the framework design.
You gave feedback through an online survey.
Who engaged
Survey
31 responded through our survey.
What happens next
We will review and consider your feedback. We will use it to assist in designing a national framework for biosecurity treatments.
We will continue to consult as the framework is developed.
