Important changes
Airlines and aircraft operators on an Approved Arrangement with Department of Agriculture, Water, and the Environment (DAWE) or a Compliance Agreement with New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries are required to complete a new sign-up process for each individual to gain access to the new Aircraft Disinsection Information (ADI) application from 28 June 2022.
Please view Information on the sign-up process to the ADI application.
About the ADI Application and iRAM
The Conveyance Arrivals Modernisation Program is developing an enhanced Aircraft Disinsection Information (ADI) application introducing:
- a more stable and reliable platform
- enhanced security measures
- enhanced specified roles
Import Relationship and Access Manager (iRAM) is the application to authenticate user access to ADI and manage external user accounts.
The following roles within ADI application for airline and aircraft operators are:
- Airline Administrator – Will have responsibility for endorsing users who apply for access to their associated airline via iRAM and have the ability to update new or existing aircraft disinsection treatment information within ADI.
- Airline User – Will have the ability to update new or existing aircraft disinsection treatment information within ADI once approved for access.
The following functions for the roles as an Airline Administrator or Airline User within ADI and iRAM are:
| Airline Administrator | Airline User | |
|---|---|---|
| ADI | Accesses one airline within ADI (their own airline) | Has the ability to access multiple airlines within ADI as needed (e.g., third party treatment providers) |
| Creates new aircraft record for disinsection treatment | Creates new aircraft record for disinsection treatment | |
| Updates existing aircraft records for disinsection treatment | Updates existing aircraft records for disinsection treatment | |
| iRAM | Endorses or declines new airline users | Adds additional airlines as required |
| Removes user access as needed | ||
| Endorses the status of an airline user to an airline administrator |
Benefits
The key benefits of ADI are:
- A user-friendly format, with self-serve for airline users to reset their user password online.
- Single user log on for airlines, aircraft operators and third-party treatment providers (replacing the former multiuser log on).
- Enhanced security measures including a 3-step security process to gain approval and access to ADI.
- ADI application main page will provide up to date information on any upcoming changes to aircraft disinsection requirements or any planned outages.
- The search function filters by characters entered and the identifies airline and aircraft registration associated to airlines.
- Pre-selected drop-down boxes instead of free text fields.
- Alignment with the disinsection certificate information on the Schedule of aircraft disinsection procedures for flights into Australia and New Zealand.
Sign Up Process
Action Required
The below must be completed prior to 28 June 2022 or before the first flight into Australia or New Zealand thereafter.
To ensure airlines and aircraft operators are ready to use the enhanced ADI application from 28 June 2022, airlines will need to set up an airline administrator. The airline administrator is responsible for endorsing other airline employees or contractors that need access to the ADI application as part of operations.
The steps are as follows:
- Identify an individual within the airline or aircraft operator to become the first airline administrator.
- Complete the ADI application sign up process.
- Email arrivals@awe.gov.au to advise who will undertake the role of the airline administrator, including their email address.
- The DAWE ADI administrator will locate the profile within iRAM to approve access.
- The airline administrator can commence endorsing airline users. Refer to ADI & iRAM Support page for more information.
Airline User role
All ADI application users will sign up in an airline user role and complete a 3-step security process:
- Add email address, select send code. Verification code sent to email. Add verification code, complete required fields and select ‘create’.
- Existing airline administrator endorses the user within iRAM.
- DAWE ADI administrator locates the profile within iRAM and approves access.
Flowchart demonstrating the complete sign-up process for the “airline user” can be found in the ADI & iRAM Support page
Airline Administrator role
Airline and aircraft operators must have at least one airline administrator role to add airline users to their ADI information portal. Without an airline administrator, no airline user role can be endorsed or approved within the new ADI application.
It is critical that an airline administrator is active prior to 28 June 2022 or prior to your airline or aircraft operator’s first flight arriving into Australia or New Zealand after this date.
All airline administrators must sign up as an airline user role initially and complete the 3-step security process, including:
- Add email address, select send code. Verification code sent to email. Add verification code, complete required fields and select ‘create.’
- Existing airline administrator endorses the user within iRAM.
- DAWE ADI administrator locates the profile within iRAM and approves access.
View the Flowchart demonstrating the complete sign-up process for the airline administrator role on the ADI & iRAM Support page.
Phased Implementation
| Date | Phase |
|---|---|
| 16 May 2022 | New ADI Application sign up process open for airline and aircraft operators, including the initial set up of an airline administrator. |
| 27 June 2022 | ADI database (legacy) is switched off to all airline and aircraft operators.* |
| 28 June 2022 | New ADI Application is live with all airline and aircraft operators under an Approved Arrangement or Compliance Agreement with the department or MPI to use new ADI application |
* Residual disinsection treatments undertaken 3 May 2022- 27 June 2022 can be viewed as read only in the legacy ADI database by DAWE administrators.
The ADI application sign up process is open from 16 May 2022.
To ensure airline or aircraft operators are ready for the 28 June 2022 launch or before the first flight into Australia or New Zealand thereafter, each airline or aircraft operator must create an airline administrator role.

Approved Arrangements
Section 405 of the Biosecurity Act 2015 provides for the adoption of arrangements relevant to certain biosecurity activities. These arrangements are legally binding between the department and an industry party (the airline) and require the airline to perform specific disinsection related tasks in an agreed manner.
The Department of Agriculture, Water, and the Environment (the department) and New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) work in partnership and regulate each other’s arrangements and any other undertakings as required.
Airlines must hold an Approved Arrangement (AA) with the department or a Compliance Agreement (CA) with MPI to utilise the residual or pre-embarkation disinsection treatment methods for flights into Australia or New Zealand to access the ADI.
Further information to enter into an AA for aircraft disinsection treatment is available on the Disinsection Approved Arrangement (AA) section on the Aircraft disinsection webpage.
