The ASW is an opportunity for members of the Plant Surveillance Network Australasia-Pacific (PSNAP) to come together to share knowledge and find out what others working in plant biosecurity surveillance roles are doing and experiencing in their jobs, and what is happening more broadly in the sector.
This workshop was meant to take place in Melbourne 1-2 April 2020 and was postponed due to COVID-19. The virtual workshop will follow the same theme and general format as planned for April, though in a reduced format.
The workshop is open to all PSNAP members to attend with further details available on the members portal. To access details, log into the Portal and go to ‘Events’ tab in the menu.
To become a member of PSNAP, fill in the Join form.
Any unusual plant pest, disease or weed should be reported.
Reporting hotlines operate in both Australia and New Zealand (numbers shown below).
Australian Exotic Plant Pest Hotline
New Zealand Pest and Disease Hotline
Pests can also be reported using apps, such as MyPestGuide® for Australia, that allow you to submit a photo of the pest or symptoms.
Every report is taken seriously and handled confidentially. Management of calls varies in different areas, but to the same end.
The PSNAP program is currently being transitioned to the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF).
During this time, content will not be updated and membership requests may take longer to process.
Thank you for your patience and support while we complete this transition.
For enquiries relating to PSNAP, please contact DAFF at surveillance.capability@aff.gov.au
