2030 Goals
By 2030, Australia has a much stronger environmental biosecurity system, enabling more effective:
Prevention:
The establishment of new invasive species in Australia has substantially slowed, and no new very-high-risk species have permanently established.
Eradications:
Priority invasive species are being systematically eliminated from the Australian mainland and islands.
Containment and control:
Invasive species have not caused any more extinctions, high priority invasive species are benign, effectively contained or controlled, and priority biodiversity sites are being protected..
Our strategic plan
Our remit is broad and includes all categories of invasive species – plants, animals, fungi, microbes – across terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. Although our primary focus is Australia and its territories, when opportunities arise, we support international efforts that benefit Australia, our region and the world.
Our strategic plan sets out five priority areas for the organisation’s prevention and early action work which forms the majority of our efforts. It also explains the approach to our work seeking to eradicate, contain and control invasive species that have already arrived and established in Australia.
