The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (the department) will be hosting information sessions for the upcoming implementation of version 3.0 of the Methyl Bromide Fumigation Methodology. Version 3.0 of the methodology will come into force 1 May 2025.

The sessions will be held virtually on Microsoft Teams Live to accommodate an international audience, and we will send ticket holders an email containing the link to join the Microsoft Teams Live event for their session. Please note that while the presented information will be most relevant for pre-border treatment providers and related industry, attendance at either session is open to all.
