Have you seen something you think is a biosecurity issue?

Biosecurity means keeping our environment, economy and community safe from harmful pests, diseases and weeds.
The ACT Government leads the biosecurity effort in the ACT alongside other government agencies, the community and industry.
Everyone has a role to play in keeping the ACT safe. Here’s how you can help:
- Take steps to prevent pests, diseases and weeds from entering the ACT and spreading to new areas.
- Help with response activities if there is a pest or disease emergency.
- Tell ACT Biosecurity if you see anything strange by emailing ACTBiosecurity@act.gov.au or calling 13 22 81.
