Our invasion watch profiles detail some of the most frightening invasive insects we need to keep out of Australia.
These case studies illustrate the need for Australia to prevent the establishment of new invasive species in the country.
First-hand accounts of the impact of these acid-spitting ants on people, pets and wildlife are horrific.

Our report Stopping NSW’s Creeping Peril calls for for concerted action to address the state’s growing weed problem.
Feral horse numbers are expanding across the Australian Alps and other parts of the country, causing immense ecological damage.
Agriculture and the natural environment have stark differences that warrant distinctive approaches to biosecurity.
You can join others calling on your local MP for change. Write a personal email to your local MP, asking them to call on Minister Tanya Plibersek for dedicated funds of at least $88 million over the next four years to implement the feral cat plan.

The Invasive Species Council was formed in 2002 to seek stronger laws, policies and programs to protect nature from harmful pests, weeds and diseases.
The Invasive Species Council acknowledges the Traditional Custodians throughout Australia and their connections to land and sea. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
