About this Event
The Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry is hosting virtual information sessions for pre-border treatment providers and related industry in preparation for the 2024-2025 Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) risk season.
Our BMSB seasonal measures will apply to targeted goods manufactured in or shipped from target risk countries, that have been shipped between 1 September 2024 and 30 April 2025 (inclusive), and to vessels that berth, load, or tranship from target risk countries within the same period.
Our information sessions will include the following topics:
· Seasonal measures for the 2024-2025 BMSB risk season.
· AusTreat, our new pre-border biosecurity treatment providers scheme which has replaced the Offshore BMSB Treatment Providers scheme, including tips for registration.
· Compliance verification activities, and observations from the 2023-2024 risk season.
· How to use the treatment certificate lodgement portal, including tips for best practice.
Our colleagues from New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries will also outline their seasonal measures for the upcoming season and we will both be available to answer your questions at the end of each session.
