Biosecurity Amendment (Enhanced Risk Management) Bill 2021

It is critical that the obligations of all stakeholders relevant to Australia’s biosecurity are clear and well understood, and that the processes that underpin biosecurity management, compliance and enforcement are streamlined, efficient and able to be practically implemented. The effectiveness of Australia’s biosecurity management system is critical to the Australian domestic economy and our ability to trade internationally and importantly, reignite our valuable international tourism industry.

The modern Australian maritime industry prides itself on its constructive engagement with government, strong biosecurity record and more generally, we regard regulatory compliance across the health, safety and environment protection spectrum as a key pillar of business success.
