This report uses the NSW Biosecurity Strategy (2013-2021) and its goals as its overarching framework. The strategy guides biosecurity management in NSW and is regarded as a significant achievement.
It provides a narrative of the work being conducted in NSW, reviews future trends and promotes recommendations for ongoing biosecurity performance measurement.
In this first NSW State of Biosecurity Report, the focus is on developing a ‘baseline’ set of indicators and providing an assessment where data is available and robust. The report identifies areas where adequate data sets are not currently available, but could enhance future reporting.
If you have any questions, please contact nspcoordinator@phau.com.au.

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
