Due to the current situation with COVID-19, the Annual Surveillance Workshop (ASW) 2020 has been postponed.
Five fact sheets and a presentation slide set about plant health surveillance were developed for your use by the Department of Agriculture, through the Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper (ACWP).
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.
