Provide your feedback on the biosecurity classroom resources for primary school teachers and students.

Your feedback will help ensure the resources are fit-for-purpose and relevant for your classroom or organisation. It will also help shape future resources and materials that complement and build on the Junior Biosecurity Officer (JBO) program.

The current resources include teacher guides, classroom lessons and activities for primary school students. Developed in partnership with Primary Industries Education Foundation Australia (PIEFA) and Kimberlin Education, they boost biosecurity awareness by teaching students about Australia’s biosecurity system and how to recognise potential threats.

Your feedback is important to us and provides valuable input for improvement.

About the program

The Junior Biosecurity Officer program aims to raise awareness among children (and, by extension, their parents/carers, family, friends and educators) on biosecurity – its threats, impact and importance. It also aims to raise awareness of the role we all play to protect Australia through biosecurity and our shared responsibility.
