The National Science Exchange Conference is hosted by the Chief Scientist at the Department of Agriculture each year to build and maintain our science capability through sharing and exchanging knowledge and innovation, networking, and enhancing collaboration between departmental scientists and its stakeholders.
Conference themes vary from year to year with a common thread of innovation, collaboration and partnership in science. The theme for 2020 is yet to be announced.
The 2020 Conference will be held at the National Film and Sound Archive, Canberra ACT. The theme and further details to be announced.
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.
