Abstract
- Biosecurity Australia is responsible for assessing and providing policy advice on the sanitary (animal health) and phytosanitary (plant health) risks arising from imports of people, animals and plants, and other goods and materials entering Australia. Biosecurity Australia meets this responsibility by undertaking import risk analyses (IRAs) to establish policy and by conducting reviews of existing policy as necessary. If Biosecurity Australia assesses the risk of a proposed import as acceptable (with or without risk management measures), it makes a recommendation to the Director of Animal and Plant Quarantine, who makes a determination. The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) implements this policy determination, by issuing an import permit and ensuring that any recommended risk management measures are undertaken.
