Continued Biosecurity Competency (CBC)
The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) in consultation with industry has developed and implemented Approved Arrangements to allow for assessment of documentation associated with the importation of cargo.
Continued Biosecurity Competency (CBC) is the mandatory annual training requirement for customs brokers and self-reporting importers to maintain accreditation to the 19.1. Non-commodity for Containerised Cargo Clearance (NCCC) and 19.2. Automated Entry Processing for Commodities (AEPCOMM) Approved Arrangements - period each year being from 1 April to 31 March.
DAFF provides this mandatory training and assessment via their department's training platform Learnhub.

"DHL Global Forwarding uses ComplianceNetFTA for 100+ staff to meet our NCCC and AEPCOMM Continued Biosecurity Competency compliance requirements. Complimenting this, I have also found the accredited content incorporated into FTA's face-to-face events as being an effective way to achieve border and quarantine requirements by simply attending two events per year."
