Biosecurity Queensland came into operation on 1 March 2007. Bringing together the biosecurity resources and functions of Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F), Department of Natural Resources and Water (NRW) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Biosecurity Queensland is responsible for coordinating the Government’s efforts to prevent, prepare, investigate, respond and recover from pest and diseases that threaten the economy and the environment. Biosecurity Queensland brings together land protection, animal and plant biosecurity, environmental biosecurity, chemical use and animal welfare and keeping. Working with our partners, Biosecurity Queensland will seek to reduce the risk of pests, diseases and chemicals entering and spreading through the Queensland food and fibre chain and natural environment.
