FREIGHT & Trade Alliance was one of numerous groups that collaborated with the CSIRO in the production of Australia's Biosecurity Future: Unlocking the next decade of resilience report.
The report was developed collaboratively through interviews and workshops with 26 organisations across the biosecurity system; including Commonwealth and state governments, research, industry and non-government organisations.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has increased community and public awareness of the importance of biosecurity and has enhanced familiarity with broad biosecurity concepts," the report states.
"This presents a unique opportunity to make transformational changes to Australia's biosecurity system while engagement levels are comparatively high."
