Environmental and Biosecurity Protection Act

The national biosecurity in Australia is governed by the Department of Health and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, with the Biosecurity Act 2015 and related legislation managing biosecurity risks at the national border. The Act covers human health, agriculture, native flora and fauna, and the environment, and lists specific diseases capable of causing severe harm. Each state and territory has additional legislation and protocols to cover biosecurity within their jurisdiction, and the Intergovernmental Agreement on Biosecurity coordinates governments to identify priority areas of reform and action.learn more on wikipedia
