Keeping an eye on pests and how to report a suspect pest

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

1800 084 881

New Zealand Pest and Disease Hotline

0800 80 99 66

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.

MyPestGuide®

The National Plant Biosecurity Surveillance Professional Development and Protocols Project is coordinated and delivered by Plant Health Australia and are funded by the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. The objectives of the Project 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.
