Connect with Australia's Plant Health Coordinators
Building a coordinated, collaborative approach to plant health in Australia
You want to optimise the outcomes of your plant health activities. But you don’t want to work in isolation, missing opportunities to tap into what else may be going on around the country. There may be more effective and efficient ways of achieving your objectives.
National officers from the Office of the Chief Plant Protection Officer may be able to connect you with what is going on in the area of your interest. Officers can advise on contacts and activities relating to the preparedness and response of economically significant plant pests in areas such as:
- surveillance
- diagnostics
- emergency response
- contingency planning
- community engagement in biosecurity
- climate change
- invasive species
- information systems
- research and development
- regional capacity building
- international and regional plant protection issues
- international standards development
Officers may be able to help you explore opportunities to:
- create linkages, build networks, share ideas and spark innovation with others in areas of mutual interest
- avoid wastage of scarce resources through duplication of effort and inefficiencies of plant health activities.
