| Biosecurity Policy and Plans Biosecurity is the protection of industries, the environment and public well-being, health, amenity and safety from the negative impacts of pests, diseases, and weeds. Tasmania's biosecurity policy objective is to protect and enhance Tasmania's biosecurity status for the benefit of Tasmania's industries, environment and public well being, health, amenity and safety.
The Tasmanian Biosecurity Strategy underpins and implements Tasmania’s Biosecurity Policy. The Strategy is a whole-of-Government framework within which biosecurity issues in Tasmania can be addressed in the most efficient and effective way. Co-ordination of biosecurity activities across Tasmania is seen as vital in optimising resources and in, not only maintaining, but also building on the State's strong biosecurity status. The Tasmanian Biosecurity Strategy is based on transparency, consistency, and scientific principles as is Tasmania's biosecurity policy.
