VICTORIA: Invitation to biosecurity strategy workshop

The development of the new Biosecurity Strategy, for release in 2023, is the next step following the Victorian Government’s recent endorsement of Victoria’s Biosecurity Statement. With the Statement providing a shared ambition for biosecurity in Victoria, the focus is now on turning those broad aspirations into tangible priorities.

It is crucial that the Strategy is informed by diverse expertise and experience – including those who regularly deal with biosecurity risks and those who benefit from a strong biosecurity system.

This series of workshops will bring a wide range of voices to the conversation about how we can strengthen the system to protect our land, waters, communities, culture, and economy.

Where and when: multiple locations around Victoria and online throughout February 2023.
