Hot on the heels of the release of the Exotic Pest Identification and Surveillance Guide for Pests of Tropical Horticulture last month, the Tropical Plant Industries Biosecurity Surveillance Strategy 2020–25 is now also available.
The surveillance strategy is the latest resource prepared by PHA to improve biosecurity surveillance in northern Australia to protect growers from the costly impacts of pests and diseases and to realise the full potential of production systems in the north.

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 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
