Public consultation on future actions for National Biosecurity Strategy Priority Areas 3 to 6 is now closed.

How you had your say

We sought feedback via two consultations on future actions for the 6 priority areas of the National Biosecurity Strategy(NBS):

  • Priority Area 1: Shared biosecurity culture
  • Priority Area 2: Stronger partnerships
  • Priority Area 3: Highly skilled workforce
  • Priority Area 4: Coordinated preparedness and response
  • Priority Area 5: Sustainable investment
  • Priority Area 6: Integration supported by technology, research and data.

These two consultations will be used to shape tangible and impactful actions for inclusion in a National Action Plan.

We invited feedback across different biosecurity sectors. These include:

  • Industry
  • Research organisations
  • Representative bodies (e.g. peak bodies, NRM organisations, environmental and community groups)
  • Communities and individuals
  • State territory and local governments
  • Australian Government

Who was engaged

  • 51 contributions were received in the first consultation.
  • 65 contributions were received in the second consultation.

What happens next

You will be invited to provide your feedback on the draft NBS National Action Plan when it is released for public consultation in 2024.

Please note that this National Biosecurity Strategy consultation is separate from the recent Biosecurity Protection Levy 'Have Your Say'. We acknowledge the valuable feedback received through the Biosecurity Protection Levy consultation process.

Where privacy permissions allow, we will explore ways to use insights from the ‘Have your say’ for the Biosecurity Protection Levy as part of action development process for the ‘Sustainable Investment’ National Biosecurity Strategy priority area.
