How you had your say
We requested input from people about changes to biosecurity and imported food fees and charges. We invited stakeholders in all sectors who use the biosecurity system, including:
Importers
Approved Arrangement Participants
Broker
Industry
Food compliance agreement participant
Conveyance (vessel and aircraft) operator
Passenger (international traveller)
General public
Academic or research organisation
State or Territory Government or Defence organisation.
Opportunities for feedback were provided via an online survey and written submissions. In addition to the Have Your Say, we published Industry Advice Notices and a BICON alert to inform users and industry stakeholders of the key changes to fees and charges, cost recovery legislation, and how we intend to improve cost recovery for diagnostics and the potential impacts.
We would like to thank everyone who engaged.
What happens next
The 2026-27 Biosecurity Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS) and final pricing tables will be published on our the Biosecurity cost recovery implementation statements webpage before by 1 July 2026.
