The National Biosecurity Strategy Implementation Plan provides the framework for implementing Australia’s National Biosecurity Strategy (NBS) through 2032. It addresses exotic and established pests, weeds and diseases, including zoonotic diseases but excluding human biosecurity. The Plan responds to increasingly complex risks associated with climate change, changing trade and travel patterns, biodiversity loss, changing land use, overseas biosecurity threats, illegal activities and major global disruptions. It seeks to strengthen Australia’s risk-based biosecurity system through cooperation among Australian, state, territory and local governments, industry, First Nations Australians, research organisations and the wider community. Implementation centres on six NBS priority areas: a shared biosecurity culture, stronger partnerships, a highly skilled workforce, coordinated preparedness and response, sustainable investment, and integration supported by technology, research and data. The Plan establishes guidance for national action plans and criteria for selecting activities, including national focus, impact, strategic and forward-looking character, cross-jurisdictional relevance, partnership enhancement, and a risk-based and scientific approach. It also provides for sustainable and equitable biosecurity funding, stronger surveillance and early detection, traceability, preparedness activities, information management, research and technological innovation.
