Farmbiosecurity.com.au is part of the Farm Biosecurity campaign, a joint initiative of Animal Health Australia (AHA) and Plant Health Australia (PHA) managed on behalf of members.
Farm Biosecurity is a national education and engagement campaign which aims to help producers reduce the risk of diseases, pests and weeds. It provides information about farm biosecurity and preventing emergency animal disease and exotic plant pests, encouraging producers to identify risks to their livestock, crops and plant products and minimise those risks through good practices. Producers are encouraged to check their properties regularly and if they see anything unusual to call the Emergency Animal Disease Watch Hotline on 1800 675 888 or the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800 084 881.
Farm Biosecurity has the strong commitment of AHA and PHA members, who are instrumental in the program's implementation and who all contribute to the initiative.
Farmbiosecurity.com.au is the hub of Farm Biosecurity communications - a comprehensive reference for farm biosecurity information. The site includes information to help producers understand disease, pests and weed risks, what they can do to reduce those risks and how to go about it. It provides materials to help producers implement good biosecurity on their property, including:
- biosecurity record templates
- disease, pests and weed information
- links to useful websites
- biosecurity related news and events
This site also provides a collective area where all Farm Biosecurity materials are available for download.
