The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment
The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment is responsible for protecting Australia's
natural resources and helping to build strong agricultural industries. The department works with
other organisations and the community to ensure Australia's land and water resources are used
productively and sustainably. The department manages biosecurity risks to Australian agriculture and
our environment by preventing the spread of plant pests and animal disease.
Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development,
Western Australia
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), Western Australia is
committed to create enduring prosperity for all Western Australians by achieving DPIRD's goals to
Protect, Grow and Innovate'. DPIRD manages and provides for sustainable use of our natural
resources and soils, and protects Western Australia's brand and reputation as a reliable producer of
premium, clean and safe food, products and services. DPIRD enables the primary industries sector and
regions to increase international competitiveness, and grow in value and social amenity,
strengthening these key pillars of WA's economy. DPIRD supports a culture of scientific inquiry,
innovation and adaptation across primary industries and regions to boost industry transformation,
economic growth and employment. DPIRD's priorities are delivering respected and recognised State
biosecurity through a responsive and robust biosecurity system, surveillance for market access and
early detection. DPIRD's long-term commitment to biosecurity has helped maintain Western Australia's
relative freedom from pests and diseases.
Museums Victoria is Australia's largest public museum organisation. We have been providing trusted
knowledge and opportunities for wonderous discovery through experiences and the State Collection
since 1854.
Plant Health Australia (PHA) is the national coordinator of the government-industry partnership for
plant biosecurity in Australia. Its purpose is to coordinate strong industry and government
partnerships that minimise plant pest impacts on Australia, boosting industry productivity and
profitability and enhancing market access.
