Every property across Australia needs to establish a farm biosecurity management plan. This plan sets out tailored procedures and strategies to minimise biosecurity risks, defend against pests, weeds, and diseases, and ensure the safety of animals and crops.
Because the threats can differ from farm to farm, the plan should reflect the unique circumstances of each property. During emergency animal disease outbreaks, having a robust plan is especially critical.
With a customised biosecurity management plan, producers can better identify, prioritise, and adopt practices most appropriate for their operations.
It doesn’t have to be complicated—simple, property-specific measures can make a significant difference in protecting a farm business.
