Breve descripción

The Biosecurity Act 2015 commences today, replacing the Quarantine Act 1908. The Australian Government, through the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, advises that as of 16 June 2016, the Biosecurity Act replaces the Quarantine Act, as the primary piece of commonwealth biosecurity legislation in Australia.

The Biosecurity Act has been developed in consultation with industry, agricultural stakeholders, state and territory governments, environmental groups, health professionals, international trading partners and the general public.

If you have any questions regarding how to operate under the Biosecurity Act, please contact the Biosecurity Implementation Branch at [email protected].

The Biosecurity Act 2015 and supporting instruments can be viewed on the Federal Register of Legislation (formerly ComLaw) website at https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2015A00061. Importers, brokers, port operators and those involved in transport or supply chain logistics are advised to make sure they understand the legislation including changes that may affect your industry.

In some defined areas, the legislation makes provision for a transition period to allow businesses time to become compliant with new requirements.

For information on transitional arrangements, please refer to the department’s website or the Biosecurity (Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) Act 2015 at https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2015A00062.
