During the last few years, FAO, as depository of the International Plant Protection Convention, has been promoting the harmonisation of phytosanitary requirements in quarantine. Pest Risk Analysis (PRA), the systematic assessment and management of risks due to exotic pests and diseases, has been introduced to assist quarantine organisations in targeting the ‘quarantine pests’ and mitigating the risk of their introduction. This paper outlines the PRA process and its implications for exclusion of exotic pests and diseases from Australia. The international obligations Australia is required to meet in the provision of endemic pest and disease information are also discussed.
