Biosecurity NSW

NSW DPI Biosecurity and Food Safety manages risks associated with interactions between people, plants, animals, the food we eat, and our environment. 

Being biosecure means protecting the economy, environment and community from the negative impacts of pests and diseases, weeds and contaminants.

By managing biosecurity in NSW, we:

• prevent the entry of new pests, diseases and weeds into NSW
• quickly find, contain and eradicate any new pests, diseases and weeds
• effectively minimise the impacts of pests, diseases, weeds and contaminants that cannot be eradicated by implementing robust management arrangements.

• reporting a pest, weed, disease or other biosecurity concern (including animal, aquatic, bee, plant, weed, insect, chemicals)
