In line with our executive engagement, we are delighted to share today's Federal Government announcement in terms of a trial scheme that aims to reduce red tape and biosecurity regulatory costs for importers and agricultural businesses.
This proposal will involve the design and delivery of up to three pilots with highly compliant entities to test the ability to manage end to end biosecurity risks across importer supply chains. This will reduce regulatory intervention and associated costs for these entities and other entities who invest heavily in commercial quality assurance systems and have a good track record of biosecurity compliance – further detail is available in the Joint Ministerial Media Release.
We look forward to working with representatives from the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment and will provide further detail in terms of the scope of the initiative, how to apply to participate in the initial pilot and expansion plans beyond initial participants. |
