In recognition of the fact that biosecurity threats are on the rise and pests, weeds, and diseases are spreading faster through warmer weather, online trade, and global travel.

In response the NSW has released the NSW Biosecurity Action Plan 2025.  The Action Plan sets out how as a State we will meet our biosecuirty challenges head-on, working together to keep our economy strong, our environment healthy, and our communities safe.

The Biosecurity Action Plan builds on the NSW Government’s strong investment in biosecurity and sets a clear direction for NSW, focusing on six areas where stronger biosecurity will make the biggest difference:

• Rapid response capability
  Improving how we detect, diagnose, and respond quickly to new threats.
• Stronger compliance framework
  Building a consistent, statewide approach to biosecurity regulation through stronger agency coordination.
• Clarifying shared responsibility
  Helping people understand and act on their biosecurity duties.
• Better access to knowledge and data
  Ensuring decisions about biosecurity are informed by scientific research and Aboriginal knowledge.
• Future-focused planning
  Prioritising long-term, strategic planning across the landscape to manage risks.
• Coordinated leadership across sectors
  Partnering with landholders, industry, government, councils, and Aboriginal communities to strengthen biosecurity.

Together, these actions will build a stronger biosecurity framework that protects our environment, economy, and communities now and into the future.
