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.

Our Work

Striving for a future where invasive species are no longer a major cause of environmental decline and extinctions.

Join our campaign to protect Kosciuszko from feral horses.

The Invasive Species Council publishes a range of information resources including fact sheets, submissions and reports.
