Australian Businesses Urged to Join Biosecurity Efforts

Australia is celebrating National Biosecurity Week, and as part of it, businesses are being encouraged to play their role in protecting the nation from pests, diseases, and invasive species.

The Department of Agriculture emphasizes that biosecurity is a shared responsibility, requiring strong partnerships between government, industry, communities, and businesses to keep Australia safe from emerging threats.

The Biosecurity Business Pledge Australia recognizes the important role businesses play in protecting industries, the economy, environment, and way of life. Inspired by New Zealand's successful pledge, it promotes collaboration, awareness, and practical action across Australia and Tasmania.
