The Australian Government is currently operating in caretaker mode. This website is hosted by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. We will continue to gather stakeholder feedback during the caretaker period to inform our future advice to government following the election.

Public consultation on the Issues Paper for the ‘Review of the biosecurity risks associated with veterinary immunobiologicals’ is closed.

How you had your say

We sought feedback from people about the department’s intention to review the biosecurity risks associated with veterinary immunobiologicals.

We invited feedback from people, organisations and industry groups across the spectrum of manufacturers, importers and users of veterinary immunobiologicals.

You gave feedback through:

  • a face-to-face meeting held in Sydney

  • an online survey

  • written submissions.

What happens next

We will review and consider your feedback in drafting the risk analysis report. Updates can be found on the Veterinary immunobiologicals, including vaccines review webpage of the department’s website.

We will work to release the draft report in the first calendar quarter of 2025.
