Aircraft Disinsection Information (ADI) System and Import Relationship and Access Manager (iRAM)

The Aircraft Disinsection Information (ADI) system is used to record aircraft disinsection treatments. Treatments must be recorded for all flights arriving in Australia and New Zealand.

The Import Relationship and Access Manager (iRAM) is the secure gateway to ADI. All users must register through iRAM to manage their role and access permissions.

 

Who needs to use ADI

Aircraft operators and third-party treatment providers must use the ADI system if both apply:

  • hold an approved arrangement (AA) with us or a Compliance Agreement (CA) with MPI (New Zealand)
  • are using either residual or pre-embarkation disinsection for flights arriving in Australia.

ADI users require a secure sign-up process via iRAM. We provide the final approval as the ADI administrator.

Airline Administrator

An Airline Administrator is established for each airline.

They will:

  • endorse and manage their users
  • add and update aircraft records

Airline User

Airline Users:

  • create and update disinsection records
  • cannot manage user access

Airline Users must be endorsed by an Airline Administrator.

Quick tips for using iRAM and ADI

  • Use Google Chrome for best performance.
  • For mobile access, use landscape mode for full functionality.
  • If a treatment port is missing from the dropdown list, contact us at conveyance.aircraft@aff.gov.au 

Why it’s important

The ADI helps aircraft operators meet biosecurity requirements and prevent the entry of pests and disease vectors.

iRAM and ADI support compliance with:

  • Australia’s Biosecurity Act 2015 (approved arrangements with DAFF)
  • New Zealand’s Compliance Agreements (with MPI)

How to use iRAM

Access to Import Relationship and Access Manager (iRAM)

As an Airline Administrator, you are responsible for endorsing users within your airline to access the Aircraft Disinsection Information (ADI) system. Follow these steps:

  1. Log into iRAM using your registered email and password.
  2. Select the relevant ADI system ID to view pending access requests.
  3. Locate the user’s email address. A warning icon indicates action is required.
  4. Select the user and click View Current Authorisations.
  5. On the authorisation page, click Awaiting Endorsement by Airline Administrator to enable the Edit button, click.
  6. In the 'Set New Status’ field, select:
    • Endorsed by Airline Administrator & Awaiting ADI Administrator Approval, or
    • Declined by Airline Administrator.
  7. Click Save to confirm the endorsement.

This completes the airline-level approval. The request will then proceed to the ADI Administrator for final authorisation.

Airline Administrators may endorse an existing user to become an Airline Administrator within the ADI system. To do so:

  1. Log into iRAM using your credentials.
  2. Select the relevant ADI system ID to view user access requests.
  3. Locate the user and click View Current Authorisations.
  4. Select Add New Current Authorisation to open the authorisation details.
  5. In the Role dropdown, choose Airline Administrator of selected airline only.
  6. Set the status to Endorsed by Airline Administrator & Awaiting approval by ADI Administrator.
  7. Click Save to confirm the update.

This completes the endorsement process. The request will proceed to our ADI Administrator for final approval.

Users may request access to additional airlines within the ADI system by following these steps:

  1. Log into iRAM using your credentials.
  2. Select the relevant ADI system ID.
  3. Click Add New Authorisation(s) in the top right corner.
  4. From the ‘Airline Code(s)’ dropdown, select the airline you wish to add.
  5. Click Save to submit your request.

Your request will be forwarded to the Airline Administrator for endorsement. Access will be granted upon approval.

Airline Administrators may decline access requests from users within the ADI system by following these steps:

  1. Log into iRAM and select the relevant ADI system ID.
  2. Locate the user’s email address. A warning icon indicates pending action.
  3. Select the user and click View Current Authorisations.
  4. On the authorisation page, click Awaiting Endorsement by Airline Administrator to enable editing.
  5. In the ‘Set New Status’ field, select Declined by Airline Administrator.
  6. Click Save to confirm the decision.

This completes the process of declining access for the user.

Airline Administrators may revoke access for users to the ADI system.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log into iRAM and select the relevant ADI system ID.
  2. Locate the user and click View Current Authorisations.
  3. On the authorisation page, select the status: Endorsed by Airline Administrator and Approved by ADI Administrator.
  4. In the ‘Set New Status’ field, choose Declined by Airline Administrator.
  5. Click Save to confirm the removal.

This action revokes the user’s access to the airline within ADI.
