Biosecurity industry reporting

Industry Reporting provides approved arrangement class 19 biosecurity industry participants and accredited persons with visibility of their in-progress entries referred to the department. The reports allow users to search for a specific entry reference to find details on:

• cargo status
• fees reporting
• approved arrangement class 19.2 usage & uptake (to be release in June 2025).

Who can use the industry reporting?

Approved arrangement class 19 biosecurity industry participants and accredited persons.

How can I access the industry reporting?

You will need to sign in to the Biosecurity Portal using your authorised digital identity (MyID). Instructions for signing in by MyID are available at How do I login to the Biosecurity Portal with Digital ID?

Once you have signed in to the Biosecurity Portal using your MyID, you will see an ‘Industry Reporting’ tile.

What is included in the industry reporting?

The intent of this reporting is to provide a more user-friendly, self-directed method of understanding the status on entries without the need to call or email the department. The reports include:

• detailed reports, and
• information pages to support you with the report.

Further information on what the reports include and how to use them have been made available on the accredited persons Learnhub.

What is in the Cargo Status tab?

The Cargo Status report includes two reporting pages:

• Cargo Status – this page is focused on a single entry. It includes a summary of the process, details of directions approved, the status of the directions, and details of biosecurity risk material if identified.
• Brokerage Overview – this page shows all the brokerage’s in-progress entries referred to the department. This includes detail by importer, intervention type, directions applied, days in progress against estimated arrival date and creation/lodgement date, by accredited nominee and entry details.

What is in the Fee Report tab?

The Fee Report provides a comprehensive record of service view of the fees and payments associated with interventions that have been applied to an entry, including:

An outline of the various fees (for example inspection fees, processing fees, etc.) that were incurred.

Visibility of these fees allows accredited persons to accurately account for all charges and ensure that they are in line with regulatory requirements.

Visibility of fees helps improve operational efficiency and ensures that there are no unexpected costs or miscommunications regarding financial obligations tied to the interventions applied to an entry.

The ‘Record of Service’ from the fee reporting is not an official invoice.

What is in the AA Class 19 usage & uptake tab?

(To be released by 30 June 2025)

The Approved Arrangement (AA) Class 19.2 usage & uptake report will provide accredited persons with a self-service capability to view and print AA Class 19.2 lodgement volumes, error rates and verification results on entries that are referred to the department.

The report will provide industry with the following information:

• A breakdown of entries that have been lodged under AA Class 19.2.
• Identify lodgement errors when using the AA Class 19.2.
• A breakdown of entries eligible to be lodged under the AA Class 19.2 but were assessed by the department.

Having visibility will allow industry to make more informed decisions on how they process their consignments and potentially increase their uptake under the AA Class 19.
