Biosecurity

Find out about animal requirements for different species and wildlife, including disease prevention, welfare guidelines, and veterinary resources.

Plant pests and diseases can ruin crops and native flora. Check the rules for moving commercial plants, travelling with plants, and reporting pests to keep SA safe.

We protect state waters from the threat of pests and diseases. You can help our primary industries and native species by following biosecurity guidelines.

Producers and landowners are responsible for minimising the potential impact of weeds. See the resources to identify, control, and report weeds on your property.

We manage introduced pests and feral animals that damage the environment and our economy. Learn which species must be reported.

Stay updated on the status of fruit fly in SA, what we're doing to prevent the spread, and how to identify and report this pest.

Make sure your agricultural and veterinary chemicals are used correctly to avoid damage to crops, the environment, and human health.

Learn about safety standards, accreditations, and regulations that apply to meats, eggs, seafood, horticulture, dairy, seed sprouts, and shellfish.

Your property and livestock need to be identifiable per the national requirements, to help control disease spread or food safety incidents.

We act as both a lead and support agency, depending on the type and severity of disasters impacting primary production and our regions.
