How you had your say

We sought feedback from people about the revised content to the approved arrangement class conditions for Biosecurity Containment Level 2 (BC2).

We invited feedback from Biosecurity Industry Participants with a Biosecurity Containment Level 2 (BC2) approved arrangement and other key biosecurity stakeholders including peak industry bodies, department approved third-party assessors, research institutions and universities and biosecurity training organisations.

You gave feedback through:

  • ABSANZ feedback, discussions and workshop

  • Third Party Assessor (TPA) workshop

  • an online survey

  • written submissions

What happens next

We will review and consider your feedback. We will use it to amend the Biosecurity Containment Level 2 (BC2) conditions and Informative Text where relevant.

We propose releasing the revised conditions in the first quarter of 2026.
