Five essential resources for on-farm biosecurity in 2026

As the year wraps up, it’s the perfect time to review practical tools that help protect your property and maintain market access. The Farm Biosecurity Program offers resources to make biosecurity planning simple and effective. Here are five essentials to bookmark:

Training records

Training staff in biosecurity measures and monitoring plants and animals for signs of disease can reduce the risk of pests and diseases becoming established. Recording farm activities and planning ahead are key steps for preparedness.

Visitor records and risk assessments

Visitors and workers may not realise how easily pests, weeds and diseases spread. Use visitor records and risk assessments to manage entry and reduce biosecurity risks.

Records for crop producers

Access tailored biosecurity checklists for different crop groups, including cotton, fruit and nuts, grains, honeybees, nursery and garden, plantation forestry, vegetables and viticulture.

Create your own biosecurity kit

Customise a biosecurity kit to suit your farm’s unique needs. Select your crops and livestock, and the Farm Biosecurity website will generate a comprehensive toolkit with relevant resources.

Gate sign template

Gate signs remind visitors to follow biosecurity procedures. Download the Farm Biosecurity gate sign template (900 x 600 mm) and add your contact details before printing.
