Weeds, Pests & Diseases

Tasmania's island advantage - our clean and green produce and our unique biodiversity - rely on keeping out of the State introduced pests and diseases. Through effective quarantine barrier services, and a range of pest management, disease control and response programs, Tasmania's sustainable agricultural and fisheries industries are protected, as is our unique flora and fauna.

Report any notifiable animal disease on the all-hours Emergency Disease Hotline: 1800 675 888.

Report any notifiable plant pest or disease to the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800 084 881.
