Weeds

Exotic weeds

Exotic weeds are pest plants that may arrive in Australia from overseas and establish here. These weeds are of particular concern because of the damaging impacts they have on our primary industries, trade, economy, and environment. To help protect Australia from the impact of exotic weeds you need to know what to look out for, and what to do if you find an exotic weed.
