Australia’s national biosecurity system faces a perfect storm with trade and tourism volumes, changing risk pathways and thousands of invasive species already in the country but yet to establish.

Business as usual or incremental improvements is not an option – transformational change is needed within a decade. This panel, recorded at the 2019 Australian Biosecurity Symposium, discusses what Australia needs to do to meet this challenge. Failure is not an option.

Moderated by Robbie Sefton, Managing Director, Seftons, panellists include:

• Kathleen Plowman, the CEO of Animal Health Australia.
• Andreas Glanznig, the CEO of the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions.
• Andrew Cox, the CEO of Invasive Species Council.
• Matt Koval, Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment.
• Roger Smith, Head of Biosecurity for the New Zealand Government Ministry of Primary Industries (at the time of recording).
