The importance of Plant Surveillance
The Plant Surveillance Network allows those working in all aspects of surveillance for plant pests to access and share information. The network was established to strengthen surveillance capacity and capability across the Australasia-Pacific region.
Plant pest surveillance activities are critical to productive agricultural sector and the biosecurity systems that protect them. Surveillance activities provide benefits to agricultural industries, the community and the environment.

- PSNAP Professional Development Program
- Surveillance Protocols
The National Plant Biosecurity Surveillance Professional Development and Protocols Projects are coordinated and delivered by Plant Health Australia and are funded by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. The objectives of the Projects are to enhance and strengthen Australia’s surveillance capacity and capability to identify priority plant pests that impact on plant industries, environment and the community.

PSNAP not only enables us to connect with our peers in surveillance across the plant industry community, it also facilitates the exchange of ideas, inspires innovative thinking, and opens doors to new opportunities.
Dr Jessica Lye
PSNAP is an important platform for connecting surveillance programs throughout Australia. This helps us learn from other programs and reduce duplication of survey activities.
